It would have been interesting if Atari or Commodore had continued their 8-bit lines on the &#x27;816 instead of chasing after the 68k.<p>A 65c816 with Jay Miner&#x27;s Amiga&#x2F;Lorraine chipset would have been a natural successor to the Atari 8-bit series.<p>My impression is the Apple IIGS was deliberately handicapped by pressure of the Jobs&#x2F;Mac partisans at Apple. It could have gone out with a higher clock and been a contender.
