If you're interested in the history of Commodore, I thoroughly recommend the Commodore International Historical Society at https://commodore.international/. Dave has pulled together many of the people who were there at the time. For example, here's an Amiga panel from the recent VCF East: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_AYDkuMg-U

And the part 2 of the Amiga Panel, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvTOFYykBTQ

There is an older one from VCF, which were a couple of sessions, where I was proven wrong, some of the engineers actually wanted the Amiga to be UNIX like first, the way it turned out to be was a sequence of decisions that eventually made it the way it was in the end. Thankfully, as it had plenty of cool ideas, many of which never got out of the Amiga into other platforms.

Looking forward to watch these.

There are also Brian Bagnall's Commodore history books, of course.
