The Second Amiga owners: 1984 - 1994
The Commodore period was a time of almost unequally prosperity for
the Amiga. The company provided the financial backing needed to
develop the dream prototype into a commercial product. The original
Los Gatos team were taken out of the picture and Commodore-Amiga
developed the high-end system into a computer for the masses. The
resulting A500, A500+, A600, and A1200 systems achieved these
goals, offering advanced features in a low-end package.
Over a number of years Commodore developed the Amiga from the
basic 68000 512k system up to the advanced 68040 processor. The
unique graphics chipset was upgraded three times, OCS, ECS, and
finally AGA. However, the financial ineptitude of Commodore led the
Amiga down a path of destruction and in 1994 the company went
bankrupt.
