374: Checkmate Digital: The Story of Stephen Jones and His Amiga-Inspired Cases - The Retro Hour EP374


Listen Later

We chat with Stephen Jones, the founder of Checkmate Digital, a company that makes Amiga-inspired desktop computer cases. Stephen shares his journey from developing Amiga products in the late 1980s and early 1990s, such as the Checkmate A1500 and the Siamese System, to his return to the scene with new products and his love for the Amiga community.
