 Amiga - Wikipedia
Dem Amiga 2000 folgte 1990 der Amiga 3000 sowie dessen Tower-Variante, die zum ersten Mal ein neues Betriebssystem in einem modernen 3D-Look mit sich brachten.
Der Amiga 1200 wurde als kostengünstige Variante seines großen Bruders, dem Amiga 4000 (sowie Tower-Variante) eingeführt.
Deshalb wurde der Amiga oft zum privaten oder halbprofessionellen Videoschnitt, zur Vertitelung oder für aufwendige Blenden benutzt.

 Amiga - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first model, called the Amiga 1000, was released in 1985 as a successor to the Commodore 64 and a rival to the Atari ST.
In the PC/Amiga rivalry, the quality of the Amiga's sound output, and the fact that the hardware is ubiquitous and easily addressed by software, was the standout feature of Amiga hardware that the PC lagged behind for years.
Amiga's three-finger salute, (CTRL plus the two "Amiga" keys), which reboots the system (but doesn't erase or reload the kickstart software) is actually implemented in hardware, unlike the software-based forms in many OSs.

 Amiga 1200 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Amiga 1200, or A1200, was Commodore International's third-generation Amiga computer, aimed at the home market.
The Amiga's custom chips were simply more expensive to produce than the commodity chips utilized in PCs, which drove up the A1200's price.
The A1200 was re-launched in 1995 after the Amiga assets were sold to Escom, but the new units were priced at 1992 levels and experienced compatibility problems.

Although many Amiga features have a potentially unlimited number of elements, the absolute minimum RAM that the Amiga system software requires is a fraction of what many comparable systems require; even counting the ROM part ofthe operating system, the memory consumed is only about 512Kbytes (although newer Amigas can support larger ROMs).
Amiga libraries, however, not only provide a single interface, but they are immune to the problem inherent to all software interrupts--there's only a finite number of them, which never seems to be enough for practical purposes.
The Amiga operating system is unusual in that it doesn't partition memory for applications, or even the operating system itself.

The Amiga was unique in that the platform was able to achieve a remarkable performance in speed and graphical features due to both the small well-engineered operating system and the remarkable chipset that offloaded much of the input-output.
