I shit my pants when I found out about this:

There's little information about it though, except here:

It's currently selling on eBay too:

But other than that, I couldn't find anything.

Windows/286 for Commodore

Dunno how I missed this.  This is unsurprising.  Commodore was selling their PC compatibles at department stores around that time.  Really stupid move to be focusing on generic PCs when they should have been promoting the hell out of the Amigas and getting THOSE into stores where the C64 used to sell. 

Around the same time the 128D came out.  Just so many bad decisions.  HP is making them look smart in comparison though.
