What is an Amiga?
In 1985, Commodore Business Machines, manufacturers of the Commodore 64,
released the Amiga
1000 personal computer for sale to the public. And it was revolutionary:
integrated chipsets for graphics, file system access, and sound
co-processing (all of which is now called 'Multimedia'). The Amiga
included a multitasking operating system (Kickstart & Workbench) with a
window GUI, stereo sound and 4096 colors - 5 years
before VGA graphics or Sound Blaster compatibility became 'standards'. A full 10
years before Windows 95 allowed for full integration of the PCs video,
sound and input/output systems.
The Amiga was so efficient that NASA, JPL and the Department of Energy all
used banks of Amiga computers for various operations.. To this day, NASA still uses a bank of Amigas to monitor launch
systems for the Space Shuttle. Sadly, Commodore did not want to take IBM
or Apple on in the business computer market, so the Amiga became niched as
a 'game machine'.
Commodore died its
slow, corporate, death in 1994, but Amiga lives on. All the classic Amigas can be found
right here at Amiga Auctions! Trying to find an Amiga for sale?
