Amiga

The original Amiga was designed by Jay Miner. His machine was many years ahead of its time when it appeared, having features such as IRQ sharing, memory mapped IO, AutoConfig (today known as "plug-and-play"), and preemptive multitasking. Some of these features had been used previously in mainframe computers, but had never been used in a personal computer before.

Für professionelle Anwender wurde 1988 auch ein Rechner namens Amiga 2500/UX angeboten, auf dem parallel ein UNIX-Betriebssystem (AMIX) verfügbar war. Technisch gesehen waren die Amiga-2500-Modelle mit dem normalen Amiga 2000 nahezu identisch, aber durch den Einbau eines zusätzlichen Prozessorboards (mit einer 68020- bzw. 68030-CPU) deutlich leistungsfähiger.

Pat Blackburn via Amiga-Mediator ML: "I dont think anyone can claim to know the situation, but when I spoke to Power Computing last Friday they said the Shark is due at the end of March or April. Of course last time they mentioned those dates was a year ago and talking about the fabled Amijoe accelerator."

The base Amiga 1200 and Amiga 2500/020 will not work becuase there is no option for adding an PMMU chip. The Amiga 4000/030 will not work as well because this includes an MC68EC030 which does not have an built-in MMU.
