![]() ![]() ![]() Amiga OS is controlled by preemptive multitasking, in the 512-kByte Rome chip (Kickstart) resides the entire OS core. Since 1997 exists extensions with PowerPC 603e and 604e-CPUs. The Amiga OS needs only small hardware requirements and runs on Amiga hardware with a Motorola 68K CCU. In the year 2000 Gateway sold again the rights from Amiga in large parts to the enterprise Amino, which thereupon was named as Amiga Inc. 1997 were sold the Amiga section including the rights to Gateway 2000. ComTech still acquired ESCOM in the same year. One year later ESCOM came to obviously by miscalculation and to fast Expandition into bankruptcy. were acquired by ESCOM in 1995, after long negotiations with numerous competitors and the bankruptcy manager for approximately 12 million dollar. Furthermore the EHB mode was supported (colour number doubled by brightness difference).īecause of failed management and from bad sales figures Amiga Inc. All resolutions could be represented now with 256 colours, in the HAM8 even with 262,144 colours. The applied colour palette was defined out of 16.7 mio. The successor of the ECS was the AGA chip set which was used in Amiga models as of 1992. ![]() This extended the possible resolutions from 1280x256 to 1440x566 pixel in the PAL mode and 1280x200 to 1440x482 pixel (Overscan) with SuperHires in the NTSC mode but only with up to 64 genuine colours. The OCS was taken off by the ECS (Enhanced chip set) in later Amiga models since 1988. In the HAM6 mode the screen display was supported by 4096 colours. The video screen with LowRes or HiRes was represented with 16 colours, 32 colours, in the EHB mode with 32 genuine colours and 32 colours with lesser brightness. In principle, the represented colour palette was defined out of 4096 colours. The video screen resolution was individually adaptable to the monitor with the Overscan method up to the limit. The video screen resolution in the first Amiga computers with the OCS (original chip set) could be configured from 320x256 to 736 x566 pixel in the PAL mode and 320x200 to 736 x482 pixel (Overscan) in the NTSC mode. Commodore decided to license the already existing operating system TRIPOS (TRIvial Portable Operating System) of MetaComCo in 1984 and to create a new user interface by developer. This Demo became famous and the ball got bound closely to Amiga as a trademark since this. In the famous BOING! technology Demo one red whitely checked Ball encouraged in 3D to sound samples in a virtual space. He was excellently designed for multimedia tasks like music and video handling with 4,096 colours, stereo Sound, video chip, synthetic text to voice conversion, 16 colours were (EGA) standard in the PC area at that time. was bought up by Commodore completely in September 1985 and presented the Amiga 1000 ready for sale. The hardware basis was developed and marketed self.Īmiga was introduced for the first time on January 4th, 1984. The Amiga was developed first as game console, the Amiga designed from his mental father Jay Miner represent a complete computer. ![]()
