Amiga had the IBM PC Bridgecard to run DOS and Windows on it. (I think it even ran OS/2 and others).

The only PC that Commodore made was the Colt series. It was a PC compatible that Commodore botched in marketing by saying "It is not a PC Clone, it is a Commodore!" of course it was a PC Clone that is what people wanted.



That is untrue. They had the Commodore PC-10 and -20 series, at least in Europe. I still remember the start up beep of my PC-20 —— it sported a 8088 Intel cpu at 4.75MHz.


After the ESCOM buyout they produced a bunch of PCs for the UK market (maybe others) branded as Commodore.

Edit: Mine came with dual boot OS/2 Warp and Windows 95.


I don't live in the UK so I didn't know about the PC clones by Commodore in the UK.

I was talking about Commodore before they got bought out by Escom ect.

I almost bought a PC Colt but got a generic 386DX PC a friend of mine sold me used that was cheaper.
