     This should probably also go to net.rumour, but the orginal article was
here. Can anyone confirm or refute the following rumour regarding the Amgia?
Word has it that Amiga (Inc.,Co.,Corp.?) had a contract with Atari to develope
either a new machine called the Lorrane or some sound and graphics chips to be
used in the same. When Tramel bought Atari, Amgia came to him asking about this
contract. Tramel told them that he was not interested, so Amiga felt free to
sell what they had to Commodore. Now there is talk about Tramel filing a suit
to stop Amiga from selling the machine to Commodore. Whether or not the suit
wins, it would delay the release of the Lorrane untill well after Tramel can
introduce his own new machine.
     In general, that is the rumour that I have heard. Is there any truth to
this? Does anyone on the net know anything about this?
