  ECS
Extended chip set is the name used for the extended version of the Amiga original chipset (OCS).
It came bundled with the A500plus, A600 and A3000 computers.
ECS included the improved Super Agnus (with support for 2 MB of CHIP RAM) and Super Denise (with support for Super-HiRes graphics modes) chips.

The first was from an A1200 with 2MB Chip RAM and 4MB Fast RAM.
The second was from an A500Plus with 2MB Chip RAM.
Evidence, if it were needed, that the A1200 is roughly five times faster than an A500, and that's not using the special 68020 CPU instructions!

 Borrowed-Time - Legal Amiga Emulation
One of the great Amiga injustices is that a PAL version for the European market never appeared.
Some Amiga owners were irritated when they found out that the "new" A500Plus, which Commodore had sneaked into Cartoon Classics packs over Christmas '91, would not run some games.
The A500+ appeared as a "Iimited edition" for a short while, with Workbench 2, but in May the A600 was launched for £399.

 Amiga
In 1990 the A3000 was introduced in the market as the successor of both A1000 and A2000, with an extended chipset (ECS), and the second release of its operating system, to be known eventually as the AmigaOS.
In the same year, Commodore released three new low-end machines: the CDTV, aimed to move the platform to the living room; the A500plus, with the same enhancements as the A3000; and the A600, basically an A500+ in a smaller box with an IDE controller for hard disks.
All of them were a failure, because of the inability of Commodore to market them.

So small in fact that I challenge anyone to make a smaller one.
What it does : Calls exec v36+ LVO -762 (reboot) Requirements : Amiga with exec V36+ Tested on : My A500Plus through various configuration changes, from a humble 68000 2MB no HD -> 68030/50, 68882/50, 1.2GB HD, 42 MB 32bit RAM.
And yes it DOES work on remaped VBR's etc, 'cos EVERYTHING on my system (stack, VBR, ROM, Supervisor) is in 32bit FAST ram.

 This evening I rediscovered Arkanoid — Think Drastic
Way back in the day I got my very first computer.
It was an Amiga A500Plus - and it was loaded!
It had 2mb RAM, the ECS chipset, AmigaOS 2.1 and (get this) a 20mb SCSI hard drive.

 A brief history of Amiga   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
The OS improved over the next couple of years and became stable at version 1.2, released in the A500 and A2000.
After several interim versions, Commodore decided to re-write huge portions of the OS code and thus OS2.0 was born and released (somewhat unfinished) in the A3000, being reborn as 2.04 in the A500plus.
The 500plus was quickly replaced by the A600 - a much smaller design with built-in IDE HD interface and a PCMCIA "credit card" slot.

Back in the days when I used my Amiga A500Plus [1], I used to be addicted to a game called Super Foul Egg, which was a fantastic take on Puyo Puyo / Tetris.
My Amiga emulator simply refuses to run it.
Does anybody happen to know where a copy of Java Foul Egg might be hiding?

 Curious? - Would you want a system that just ran AMIGA 4 and lightwave? [Archive] - NewTek Discussions
As to being a REAL Amiga user - The first Amiga I saw was a friend's A1000 running DPaint 1 and Defender of the Crown - I was completely transfixed and the day the A500 came out in the UK I got a loan and bought one (couldn't afford a '1000).
After that I got an A500plus, a CSA Mega Midget Racer 68030 card, an A570 20mb external hard disk (remember those!) then I moved to an A1200 and finally an A4000 (which sadly shuffled off its mortal coil earlier this year).
I now have a brand new A1200 bought from Eyetech and a CD32 I bought when they first came out.

 Amiga Wiki: PSU
The PSU is the part of a computer that converts the mains supply (typically 230V or 110V) to an electrical current suitable for the computer.
Amigas in console Cases (the A500, A500plus, A600 and A1200) have external PSUs (anyone know about the CDTV/CD32?) while the higher-end models used an internal PSU.
How about a link to a HOWTO of using a PC PSU?
