A metà anni '80 il CEO e fondatore di commodore Jack Tramiel lasciò per ATARI portando con sé molti progettisti ed ingegneri; la compagnia si trovò così improvvisamente senza risorse per industrializzare il proprio primo PC a 16 bit. Allo stesso tempo, per fortuna, alcuni degli originari progettisti ATARI avevano fondato una compagnia chiamata AMIGA; Commodore, orfana del suo fondatore, vide l'opportunità di inglobare AMIGA al fine di dare vita al primo COMMODORE a 16 bit. Il risultato fu il lancio nel 1985 dell'AMIGA 1000. Poco più tardi nel 1987 venne introdotta l'amiga 500, con un istantaneo successo di vendite. La A500 condivideva l'architettura della A1000 e fu commercializzata fino al 1992. Presentava un hardware di assoluta avanguardia; processore motorola 68000 a 7,19 MHz con 512 Kb di ram, lettore floppy disk integrato nel case con tastiera e mouse a 2 pulsanti. Si collegava alla tv mediante uscita A/V era dotato di sistema operativo denominato AmigaOS in parte residente in rom. Le prestazioni incredibili per il periodo (altri impiegarono almeno 5 anni per raggiungere il medesimo livello) si devono alla divisione dei compiti tra sottosistemi di cui la CPU 68000 fa da supervisore: i chip denominati DENISE (memory controller) Paula (Audio controller) e Agnus (video controller). Infatti il motorola 68000, pur consentendo un clock potenzialmente 7 volte più veloce del MOS 6502 presente nel C64, risulta meno efficiente del MOS il quale riesce ad eseguire molte operazioni in un solo ciclo di clock; così l'incremento di prestazioni si riduce a circa 3x. La vera differenza risiede proprio nell'uso di coprocessori. Tali caratteristiche avanzate di grafica e suono ne fecero una piattaforma molto popolare ed indimenticabile per i videogiochi. Un'ultima menzione merita l'interfaccia grafica workbench che già nel 1985 offriva un vero ambiente multitask di tipo preemptive.Un grazie all'amico Luca per aver messo a disposizione questo splendido cimelio.

I was 13. I still remember the Indiana Jones game and the last crusade... pity that the C ended badly!

It is a pity, the golden age for commodore and for that computer science that I remember with pleasure ended with the amiga. Thank you for your visit

Mr Gaet. For certain things, age doesn't matter :-D

How many memories... I also had the amiga 500, I remember very well the ON/OFF button...
Between the games: Pang, Golden Axe, Lotus, Jaguar XJ220, Pinball, Sensible Soccer, and others in the graphics whose name I don't remember the name like the one in the bottom right (penultimate), a kind of American football with the steel ball that bounced everywhere (Speedball if I remember correctly). How many floppy, fun graphics even in copying with X-Copy with all those bulbs...

Ok, I had (and loved) the Amiga 500, although my heart remains tied to the Spectrum 48K (bought 16K and then expanded) and a little to the ZX80 in the mounting box... 1Kb (UN Kbite) of memory that you really had to work on to make any program; beautiful, but the effort was really much.
Thanks for the photo and the memories it unleashed.

Nice photo and mythical console, but also that I am "great" I started to delight first with the ZX81 (16k of ROM and 1k of RAM) and my real gym hardware and software was then the Spectrum with which I was night and on which I left the heart as Carlo OZ (I still keep the mythical object in the attic).
Conconcordo with you Fabio that the best games were the adventure games of Lucas, the saga of Monkey Islan in the first place!
Hello,
Carlo

Thank you for sharing your memories. I would have liked to have had a Sinclair to dedicate a photo, as well as an atari 2600.
Carlo OZ, the fatigue was as much as so much satisfaction I am sure :-)
Corado always very kind
Magher3D, I also remember Indiana Jones and the fate of atlantis, how beautiful!

I read 1k of RAM here but maybe it's a typo you meant 1 Gb of RAM! Ha ha ha

My first PC a year after graduating in engineering had 16 Mb, was it that all the power today is of no use except for purely commercial reasons?
