1. Once upon the time... - VIScorp gone broke

Let's remember: 1996, when the imminent bankruptcy of the AMIGA-owner at that time Escom was within sight, the company quickly tried to sell his subsidiary Amiga Technologies to an American enterprise named VIScorp, that wanted to make among others settop-boxes basing on Amiga technology. The deal had failed because of not sufficient liquid means - VIScorp couldn't pay enough. Now Jason Compton, former member of the staff at VIScorp, reports on http://www.remarq.com/read/amigasys/qAPltclL7bdoC_Ex4, that the subsequent enterprise US Digital Communications has stopped its activities, because they don't have any financial resources left.
