Dane są OK, ale obrazek na górze już nie bardzo, natomiast to fragment jakieś mojej wypowiedzi, gdzie opisana jest cała sytuacja + cytat z artykułu na temat tych trzech maszyn:
--------------------------
YERZMYEY: Actually I can't see anything wrong with it, really. On I will
tell You something more. Namely: Spectrum and Atari are quite
strongly connected. You see, Sir Clive Sinclair was working on
machine named Super Spectrum (the second name: Spectrum Loki).
The Loki was intended to be an Amiga-beater, with custom graphics
and sound chips, a "huge" 512x256 resolution in up to 256 colours
and a 128K memory. The machine would also have a fully-buffered
expansion bus, RGB, composite and TV display outputs, a serial
port, two joystick ports, a light pen (supplied), three different
types of MIDI port, stereo sound in and out, a headphone socket,
and a video recorder/video disc interface. On top of all of that,
floppy disk, hard disk, compact disk, mouse and modem connectivity
would also be available. Sinclair made whole technology, but he
didn't manage do make his plans into work, because Amstrad bought
Spectrum trade-mark. Sadly Amstrad was too crap firm to produce
Super Spectrum: they abandoned it. And here starts the story of
two machine-brothers: new model of Atari: Jaguar, and new model
of Speccy: Sam Coupé. In the event, the machine appears to have
got no further than the design phase and was abandoned by Amstrad.
Interestingly, however, its concepts did come to fruition in a very
different form. After the Amstrad takeover, two ex-Sinclair
engineers, John Mathieson and Martin Brennan, set up their own
company called Flare, drawing on the Loki designs to produce a new
multiprocessor games console. Atari were drawn into the project and,
seeking to challenge the Sega Genesis/Megadrive and Super Nintendo,
brought the machine to the market as the Atari Jaguar. According to
Jaguar developer Andrew Whittaker, "Some of that ZX-Loki technology
also found a home in a new Spectrum model, called the SAM Coupé,
which was manufactured and produced in the UK by MGT technologies
(Bruce Gordon and Alan Miles, both ex-Sinclair staff also). It
shared many interesting features with the Jaguar in terms of its
video chip, but the machine sold very badly in Europe and the
company folded."
