	Amiga - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first Amiga computer, simply called the Amiga, was released in 1985 by Commodore, who marketed it both as their intended successor to the Commodore 64 and as their competitor against the Atari ST range.
		In the same year, Commodore released three new low-end machines: the CDTV, aimed to move the platform to the living room; the A500+, with the same enhancements as the A3000; and the A600, basically an A500+ in a smaller box with an IDE controller for hard disks.
		The Amiga brand was then sold to another PC manufacturer, Gateway 2000, which had grand plans for it, but they eventually sold it in 2000 before actually realizing their plans.

	Commodore Amiga Unix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Commodore International did a full port of ATandT Unix System V Release 4 Unix for the Amiga computer family (in addition to the proprietary AmigaOS shipping with these systems by default).
		Contrary to the popular belief that Amigas were primarily gaming machines, this port was considered one of the finest Unices of its time.
		The Amiga A3000UX model even got the attention of Sun Microsystems, but unfortunately Commodore did not jump at the opportunity.

	Computers: Systems: Amiga - Open Site
		The Amiga name and rights to technology were bought back off those who bought it from Commodore at the time of their collapse, and is now owned by Amiga Inc. (www.amiga.com).
		The A500, though, was the mainstay of the Amiga stable, for some years, until the release of the less-than-popular A500 Plus and its bigger brother, the A3000, both featuring the new version of the operating system, Workbench 2.0, with dire consequences for software compatibility.
		The Amiga A1000 was the first commercially produced Amiga to hit the market, arriving in the US in October of 1984 and the rest of the world in November of 1984.

	History of Commodore
		Commodore is a very special company in the history of gaming, particularly in the UK and Europe.
		Commodore decided to invest in their own small range of TV games, but in the wake of Atari’s VCS console, the new machines met with little success.
		By 1992 the Amiga had hit its peak, the new 1200 version offered 32-bit risc technology, but the leap between the two models was incomparable to the leap between C64 and the original machine.

	Commodore computer history and repair information
		Some seemingly complex problems (especially with the Commodore 128 and Amiga) stemmed from the fact that various chips sometimes became loose in their sockets and could be easily pushed in tighter or removed and reseated.
		Commodore compatible floppy drives made by other manufacturers also emerged, but they were independently developed (for the most part) due to the fact that the Commodore 64 and 128 drives were "intelligent peripherals" possessing chips that Commodore had decided not to license or supply to its competitors.
		Commodore even developed an incredible interactive stand-alone CD unit (based on the Amiga technology) called the CDTV which (along with Philips CDI) were the predecessors to many of the CD-based interactive game systems which followed.

		Introduced in July 1985, the Amiga 1000 was created in part by Jay Miner, who previously designed the Atari 400 and Atari 800.
		The Amiga was originally designed to be a killer game machine, but it was so great that it grew into a real computer.
		The Amiga 1000 was a quantum leap above any other system out at the time, as it included a 32bit pre-emptive multi-tasking GUI (Graphic User Interface), 4 channel stereo sound, 880k 3-1/2 inch floppy disks, and video modes which provided up to 4096 colors at once.
