The A1200 and A4000 were essentially too little too late. Dave Haynie reported that there was an A4000 prototype ready in an A3000 chassis almost a year ahead of the A4000. Then there were the production ramp up issues with the A4000 where systems weren't available because chip manufacturing didn't happen due to money problems at Commodore.
There were so many missed oppourtunities. Technically, it would have been possible to ship and AGA machine in 1989 as DRAMs with faster access times were available then (even at an affordable price before the duties were applied), and it might have made a difference, but the march of the PC clones was already growing quite strong. Ah well, at least I had a lot of fun learning on those machines!
