The Commodore Amiga was a widespread from the mid-1980s to early / mid-1990s computer, which was particularly popular in its entry-level models (A500 and A1200) as a home computer. For his time, he had strong multimedia skills and a powerful, preemptive multitasking operating system. In the Commodore era, he worked consistently with processors from the Motorola 68000 family.

Jay Miner was the creator and spiritual father of the Amiga. He left 1981 at Atari, where he was u. a. responsible for the development of the game console Atari 2600 and the home computer Atari 400 and 800. He then founded the company Hi Toro, which later became the Amiga Corporation. Initially, Amiga provided game modules and controllers for the Atari 2600 console, a little later, a separate Amiga game console was planned. From the game console was in the minds of developers a computer.

Atari (then led by Ray Kassar, Warner Communications) was by agreement from July 1983 lenders and wanted to bring the Amiga as a successor to the now outdated XL computer series on the market. With the stock market scandal of December 1982 on the neck Kassar had to resign in July 1983. The new CEO Morgan further pursued the goal of bringing the project Lorraine, as the Amiga was called internally, as the successor of the XL to the market.

On July 2, 1984, Warner Communications sold the console and computer division of Atari to Jack Tramiel, the then dismissed founder of Commodore. Tramiel tried to buy Amiga final and offered the shareholders 0.98 per share. Commodore (under Irving Gould) offered shortly before the end of the 24-hour period ultimately $ 4.25 per share and was awarded the contract, according to which Commodore the development direction of the Amiga increasingly influenced, according to critics not always in the spirit of the inventor or for the benefit of the Amiga. Commodore almost overcame this takeover and subsequent product launch, and entered a serious financial crisis.
The first Amiga model later called Amiga 1000 was presented on July 23, 1985 in New York as part of a big show in which the pop art artist Andy Warhol a newly created image of the singer of the band Blondie, Deborah Harry, Amiga re-inked while the viewers were live. The developers also demonstrated the special features that set the Amiga apart from its contemporary competitors IBM PC, Macintosh and Atari ST:

Four-channel sample sound (unlike IBM PC, Macintosh, Atari)
Hardware support for graphics animation by the Blitter
colored graphical interface (unlike the Macintosh)
Preemptive multitasking and 32-bit hardware and software structure (as opposed to Atari, Macintosh, IBM PC)
According to the former Amiga developer Dave Haynie, the Amiga was the most significant influence of Commodore on the development of personal computers. [1] The Amiga therefore introduced the following innovations in the field of home computers in the 1980s:

Multitasking pointed the way to today's multiprocessing
a graphics output that could display photos in low color depth
Sound reproduction via stereo samples
Effectively relieving the CPU through intensive use of other chips via direct memory access (DMA) and seamless integration into the operating system (although the first PC also had a DMA controller, it was not used so efficiently)
automatic configuration of expansion cards (AutoConfig of the Zorro bus)
In Germany, a similar event took place on 21 May 1986 in the Alte Oper in Frankfurt am Main, which was moderated by Frank Elstner.

As a purchase argument, the potential IBM PC compatibility was highlighted, first in the form of a software emulation called Transformer, later by A1060 sidecar. The Sidecar enabled the operation of MS-DOS in parallel to the Amiga operating system with the help of its dedicated Intel 8088 CPU. The sidecar was developed by Commodore's development department in Braunschweig.

A special feature of the Amiga 1000 was its keyboard garage: The keyboard was a bit narrower, it could be pushed under the computer case, which was designed for something extra high legged. In later models, this was waived again, especially so that you could use a keyboard with (approximately) standard assignment.
