> An Hombre-based Amiga would have been interesting

I wouldn't have bought an Hombre either because I doubt I would have seen it as really an Amiga. My regret is that the earlier AAA chip set was never completed and shipped because I would have bought that computer. It wouldn't have changed the Amiga's eventual fate but we'd have another really interesting machine that would have likely been more of what we love about the Amiga from a retro perspective.

There was talk that the Hombre graphics chipset would have also been available as an add-in PCI card, possibly even compatible with bog-standard Pentium PCs. If that had happened... Commodore could have been the first company ever to have released a proper 3D accelerator, years before 3Dfx or Nvidia hit the scene with their offerings.

Frankly, this would have been a worthwhile pivot getting into 3D accelerators if the Amiga gambit wouldn't have paid off in the long run.
