"Officially licensed" Commodore jerseys on Amazon
On Amazon, "Score Draw" offers retro jerseys of German soccer clubs, among others also red and white jerseys with "Commodore" logo. In contrast to jerseys of other teams, these are not complete copies of the original jerseys: on the "official Commodore retro jerseys from 1986" (product description of the producer) the logo and the name of the corresponding club are missing - the FC Bayern München is not mentioned even in the article description.

Obviously the license for the brand of the Munich team would have been to expensive - since Score Draw does promoting his article as "officially licensed" it is probable that he reached an agreement with the owner of the Commodore brand rights. What the original Bayern jersey looked like you can see on the website of the Trikot-Museum. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Report and video of Amiga prototype "Zorro" (Update)
Under the title link Eric Hill has reported on his recently purchased Amiga development system. According to his information, this prototype was named "Zorro" and is a later variation than "Velvet". Commodore did send it to Hewlett-Packard hoping that the company would support it but it would not. In spring 1985 a private person bought it from HP.

The main differences in comparison to the ordinary Amiga (1000) as Eric Hill found out:
  • Commodore logo instead of Amiga checkmark on the case
  • Commodore keys inbstead of Amiga keys
  • No signatures on the inside top cover of the case
  • Custom chips Portia (instead of Paula) and Daphne (instead of Denise) as well as an early Agnus version
The computer used a Kickstart disk version 29.11. A video complements the report.

Update: (07:29, 05.05.19, snx)
As it turned out meanwhile, the disk has been overwritten by the previous owner with Kickstart 1.2. (snx) (Translation: dr)
