“Personal computer maker Gateway signed a deal to sell its
Amiga trademarks and computer systems to Amino Development
Corp., the companies said today.
The news marks another chapter in the Amiga saga. Gateway said
in September that it had scrapped plans to develop a new Amiga
machine. At the time, the PC maker said its Amiga subsidiary would
focus on opportunities in the emerging information-appliance market
and redefine itself as a software company.”
“Gateway senior vice president Peter Ashkin said in a statement
the company elected to sell the Amiga name after deciding to wrap
Amiga’s software engineering function into Gateway’s product
development systems.”
