 From what I have read the c65's main opposition was from within 
engineering, so the people pushing it would be looking for support from 
anywhere.

It's not a bad idea, commodore were selling a lot of c64's still as the 
world hadn't locked on to IBM PC compatibles.

I'm guessing that the a300 will have killed any support for it, which 
commodore then went on to ruin instead.
