Unfortunately this machine was never sold to the public and only one prototype is believed to be in existance. The A2200 was based around the same motherboard as the CD32, but due to Commodore's demise it was never released, largely due to the fact that the motherboards (65,000) destined for the A2200 were still held in Commodore's warehouse and seized by creditors. In addition the CD32 motherboard, an additional unit was attached to the expansion port on the motherboard called the Agent 88 which provided additional expansion capabilities such as the accelerator slot and optional SCSI effectively creating a new motherboard.
