    Amiga.org.pl komputer Amiga współcześnie Spis treści AMIGA legenda informatyki 2 Retro 4 Emulacja 6 Współczesna Amiga nowej generacji 11 MorphOS 17 AROS 24 Amiga dzisiaj Zainteresowanie komputerem Amiga jest nieprzemijające. Niezależnie od tych, którzy mają Amigę “od zawsze”, biegnie współcześnie jej nieprzerwany rozwój, i to wielotorowo. Oprócz tego możemy cieszyć się różnymi hobbystycznymi rozwinięciami, pozwalającymi w sposób bardziej wygodny korzystać z rozrywki w formie retro. Amiga dzisiaj to “amigowanie”, wielka różnorodność i wiele smaków 1 Amiga retro AMIGA legenda informatyki AMIGA - pierwszy na świecie komputer multimedialny. Premiera w 1985 r. Wcześniej były inne innowacyjne konstrukcje (np. firmy Xerox czy Lisa firmy Apple) ale to Amiga wnosiła fenomenalną na ówczesne czasy grafikę, animację i dźwięk. Architektura komputera to specjalizowane układy odciążające procesor. artyści Andy Warhole i Debby Harry przy pierwszej Amidze Rewelacją był też wielozadaniowy system operacyjny. Prasa branżowa potraktowała wtedy Amigę jako zabawkę, nie wiadomo było co z tym robić. Ten pierwszy model nazywał się po prostu Amiga, potem nazywano go Amiga 1000. Projekt wraz z zespołem który go stworzył, z genialnym Jayem Minerem na czele, trafił pod skrzydła CBM (Commodore Business Machines), giganta w tamtym okresie jeśli chodzi o produkcję komputerów na świecie. Kolejne modele pojawiły się 2 lata później – dopiero one odniosły sukces. Amiga 2000 i Amiga 500, oparte na podobnych podzespołach, okienkowy graficzny interfejs – Workbench jednocześnie rozdzieliły pierwotną koncepcję na dwie linie komputerów – “duże” i “małe” Amigi. 2 Amiga retro “Duże” Amigi przypominały PC, były to desktopy, umożliwiające rozbudowę za pomocą kart rozszerzeń. Za sprawą rozszerzenia Video Toaster stały się na jakiś czas standardem w edycji wideo.

  • Another Week With
    Another Week With Sam Seite !1 von !15 Another Week With Sam I WANT THIS BLOG TO CAPTURE MOST OF THE THINGS I LEARN AND EXPERIENCE ON THE MACHINE AND ON RELATED TOPICS (SUCH AS MY CLASSIC HW). THE TONE SHOULD REMAIN PERSONAL AND I PLAN ON UPDATING AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. POSTED 07-10-2009 AT 11:18 PM BY LSMART UPDATED 07-12-2009 AT 03:53 PM BY LSMART (UPDATE - JOYSTICK WORKS - BUT NEEDS CALIBRATION) The curtains are still drawn on a quiet Saturday morning. I am sitting in front of my »new Amiga«. It is a Sam440ep-Flex that I bought a few months ago. Behind my back my wife and the dog are still sleeping - wait - well at least she is snoozing. There is a lot to tell about my past experiences with Sam, UAE and Aros. And in fact I have told some of it - in german on my homepage. I think I might mention parts of it when there is a current theme that relates to my earlier posts. Yesterday I downloaded Vice from OS4depot and I am planning on transferring my Geos-Disks to Sam. I just hope I can find the cable. Vice seems to run really well on that little machine. I haven’t found out how to tell it to calibrate the joystick. I won’t play on the keyboard while a USB- Competition-Pro is resting on my desk. I have very fond memories of the classic Competition-Pro. I want this blog to capture most of the things I learn and experience on the machine and on related topics (such as my classic HW).
