Talk:Amiga 3000UX

Just a note about the user who referred to himself as 'this editor' in a previous edit to the article and spoke at length about his particular oddity of an Amiga - this is not an encylcopaedic way to write articles, please refrain from talking about yourself when you edit articles. It just make the article look sloppy and amateurish. I've kept the point about the UX models being sold as standard machines, though I fear that it may be deleted in the future as original research.

P.S. - AmigaDOS was the program that handled disk acces, not the operating system, which never had a name, only the informal 'Workbench' (after a labeling error by Commodore) which was actually the UI or the retrospective AmigaOS, which only came into existence with OS3.5 Seek100 23:43, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

The bit about repurposed systems does seem like a stretch -- looking back at the original text, the contributor appears to have bought a used machine that had been modified in at least one other way (custom paint job). The idea that "some machines may have been repurposed by Commodore" is thus based on one dubious data point; adding "or a third party" is only stating the obvious and makes the whole idea unnoteworthy. The edit to this obscures this by calling the one datum "some", strongly implying that other such machines have been found, which is not indicated by the original text.--NapoliRoma 14:17, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Merge with Amiga Unix

I think this article would benefit from being merged with the Amiga Unix one. First of all, there's so little content here that I am surprised that the article isn't flagged as some kind of stub. Secondly, about a third of the textual content only became vaguely credible after I qualified the earlier remarks, but the substance of that qualification has been added in full to the Amiga Unix article. Finally, the Amiga 3000UX was really part of Commodore's broader effort to field a workstation, starting with one based on the Amiga 2000 and using a 68020 CPU, also added to the Amiga Unix article. Once unpicked from the larger narrative, there isn't much left about the Amiga 3000UX specifically. Of course, one could unpick everything, move all the Amiga 3000UX stuff into this page from Amiga Unix, and try and distribute the content evenly, but it would leave two rather cursory articles instead of a single, more adequate, summary. I suppose the resulting article could have the Amiga 3000UX title if people were upset about the machine not having its own dedicated article. PaulBoddie (talk) 22:42, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
