They do seem to have studied at the Commodore Amiga School of Management.

From:
http://oldcomputers.net/amiga1000.html

Introduced in July 1985, the Amiga 1000 was created in part by Jay Miner,
who previously designed the <atari400.htm>Atari 400 and <atari800.htm>Atari
800. The Amiga was originally designed to be a killer game machine, but it
was so great that it grew into a real computer.

The Amiga 1000 was a quantum leap above any other system out at the time,
as it included a 32bit pre-emptive multi-tasking GUI (Graphic User
Interface), 4 channel stereo sound, 880k 3-1/2 inch floppy disks, and video
modes which provided up to 4096 colors at once. The Amiga can even display
multiple screens at different resolutions on a single monitor, all at the
same time.

The Amiga quickly became a favorite for graphic artists and animators since
it's multiple co-processors allowed it to do complex images and animations
that other systems, with the exception of expensive workstations, just
couldn't handle.

Truly the most advanced and capable computer of the era. Unfortunately, due
to poor marketing and lack of IBM or MS-DOS compatibility, the general
public did not take much notice of it.

Yup. Sounds like the Amiga to me ... :-(

Hey, rather than Russing around, why don't you write an Amiga<->Audiotron
interface.

Then the engineering marvels/marketing fiascos can play together :-)  :-)  :-)
