the amiga's were the best thing out there in it's time. Damn, fuckall for ram, fuckall for system bus, fuckall for pwoer really, but those boxes could churn out graphics no pc or mac could touch. All thanks to the video toaster. Altho the video toaster was designed for only the 4000 series you could get equaly impressive graphics from an A1201 (A1200 + 1.5 megabyte 'chip' memory upgrade installed) and upgrading the workbench rom. the a2000 was really a "pc" version of the a500 that was designed to have the guts of the a500 but have expandability such as with built in ram and hdd and zoro slotts. If anyone has seen the a2000 vs the a500 you know what I mean. The 500 and 200o were same thing really except the a500 had to have a litle breakout box that attached to its side to hold up to 16 megs of ram and a 512 meg max hard drive.
