Amiga 600

Descrizione:

  • Origine: Usa
  • Piu’ venduto: Usa/Europe
  • Raro: No! assolutamente
  • Anno: 1992

testo tratto dalla homepage di Wikipedia:

L’Amiga 600, conosciuta anche come A600 (nome in codice “June Bug”) è stato un modello di home computer della serie Amiga prodotto dalla Commodore, lanciato sul mercato nel marzo del 1992.

Nato come evoluzione del precedente Amiga 500+, montava un processore Motorola 68000. Fu creato per rivitalizzare le vendite della linea A500 prima della commmercializzazione del più sofisticato A1200, riducendo al contempo i costi di produzione.

La caratteristica fondamentale dell’A600 è il suo ridotto ingombro. Mancante del tastierino numerico, il case era lungo 35 cm e largo solo 24, con un peso di meno di 3 kilogrammi

Commodore VIC 20 – 2nd Generation

Description:

  • Country: USA
  • Most Common: Europe
  • Rarity: Unrare
  • Year: 1980

The VIC-20 was intended to be more economical than the PET computer. It was equipped with only 5 KB of RAM and used the same MOS 6502 CPU as the PET. The VIC-20′s video chip, the MOS Technology VIC, was a general-purpose color video chip designed by Al Charpentier in 1977 and intended for use in inexpensive display terminals and game consoles, but Commodore couldn’t find a market for the chip.
As the Apple II gained momentum with the advent of VisiCalc in 1979, Jack Tramiel wanted a product that would compete in the same segment, to be presented at the January 1980 CES. For this reason Chuck Peddle and Bill Seiler started to design a computer named TOI (The Other Intellect).

The design was basically the same as the VIC-20 design: Black keys and orange function keys (from F1-F8), and it was said that a few computers have the more angular keys of its predecessor. Earlier models even had some differences, such as the 5-pin video out.

Commodore Floppy Drive 1551 (c16/Plus4)

Description:

  • Country: US
  • Most Common: Europe
  • Rarity: Rare
  • Year: 1983

The Commodore 1551 (originally introduced as the SFS 481) was a floppy disk drive for the Commodore Plus/4 home computer. It resembled a charcoal-colored Commodore 1541 and plugged into the cartridge port, providing faster access than the C64/1541 combination.

Commodore reportedly planned an interface to allow use of the 1551 with the C64, but it was never released.
