The Forgotten Commodore

Imagesource: https://youtu.be/PbVjNInzrw8

The Commodore 900 has somehow become a little known mystery. Designed in 1983 for the business market, the machine based on a Zilog Z8000 never really made it beyond the prototype phase.

The potential was there, but it is questionable, whether a shift into the business market could have saved Commodore later on. 📉

Anyway, every now and then someone picks up the story around the machine, remakes it into a new and fresh piece of sausage, and if you're lucky, there are a few details you didn't know before.

The hero of our current story is Neil from RMCRetro tweeting as @RMCRetro, who gives us the details of the machine in a whole 28 minutes and 11 seconds in an entertaining way as always.

Fancy some history?
