Commodore Amiga 1000

Commodore Amiga · 1985

The original Amiga, and the machine that showed everybody what a home computer could be: pre-emptive multitasking, four-channel sampled sound and a custom chipset doing graphics in hardware, in 1985, while the PC world argued about CGA. Jay Miner's design. It boots from a Kickstart disc rather than ROM, the case is signed inside by the team, and it is the most collectable Amiga.
