All good points. But I think Commodore was essentially technically rudderless with the Amiga after Miner and related folks were no longer involved, so I don't think they'd really have had anything to offer on either end (game/consumer or general purpose workstation class machine.) Or even on the software front, who would have even developed the software on the latter? Like Atari, I get the sense that they just didn't have the resources to make that kind of thing happen.

Atari made moves in 90, 91 to get more serious about their OS development, hiring Eric Smith fulltime to work on MultiTOS, etc. Smart move, but too late.

The low-end Unix workstation thing was a meme that just didn't work out in practice. Both Atari (with the TT running SysV) and Commodore tried at this market and failed. There was no buyer for it. I still remember the snarky little headline on a snippet in UnixWorld about Atari's TT & Unix: "Up from toyland."
