  • Υπολογιστές Amiga Ιούνιος 2006 Μητρέγκας Γεώργιος (Α.Μ.: 3560) Μπουδαλάκης Παντελής (Α.Μ
    Υπολογιστές Amiga Ιούνιος 2006 Μητρέγκας Γεώργιος (Α.Μ.: 3560) Μπουδαλάκης Παντελής (Α.Μ. 3825) Επιβλέπων Καθηγητής: Μηνάς Δασυγένης Πρόλογος Η Amiga είναι μια οικογένεια ηλεκτρονικών υπολογιστών οι οποίοι άρχισαν να πρωτοσχεδιάζονται το 1982. Το αρχικό hardware της Amiga και την παρουσιάστηκε το 1985 στην αγορά. Βασισμένη στην γενιά μικροεπεξεργαστών Motorolla 68k, διέθετε chipset ειδικής κατασκευής με προηγμένη τεχνολογία γραφικών και ήχου και το πρωτοποριακό Multitasking software, κάτι για το οποίο ξεχωρίζει και το λειτουργικό σύστημα της Amiga, το Amiga OS. Ενώ ο Μ68k ήταν ένας 32-μπιτος επεξεργαστής, η αρχική έκδοση που χρησιμοποιούσε η Amiga διέθετε μία 16-μπιτη αρτηρία δεδομένων. Τα επόμενα μοντέλα όμως χρησιμοποίησαν πλήρη 32-μπιτο σχεδιασμό. Η Amiga απέκτησε μεγάλη φήμη στην Ευρώπη κυρίως επειδή αποτελούσε φθηνότερη πρόταση από τους Apple Macintosh και IBM-PC. Επίσης βρήκε εφαρμογές και σε διάφορες επιχειρήσεις που είχαν να κάνουν με παραγωγή video (π.χ. τηλεοπτικούς σταθμούς). Εμπορικά η Amiga γνώρισε επιτυχία κυρίως ως οικιακός υπολογιστής. Hardware Ως πυρήνα η Amiga χρησιμοποίησε απλά σχεδιασμένους συνεπεξεργαστές, χρήσιμους για οπτικοακουστική κωδικοποίηση και animation. Αυτό έδινε την ελευθερία στην κεντρική μονάδα επεξεργασίας (CPU) να ασχολείται με άλλες διεργασίες, προσφέροντας στην Amiga πλεονέκτημα σε αρκετούς τομείς, σε σχέση με τους ανταγωνιστές της. Η πλατφόρμα εισήγαγε επίσης και άλλες καινοτομίες. Η Amiga CDTV, για παράδειγμα, ήταν ο πρώτος υπολογιστής που περιελάμβανε drive για CD-ROM σαν στάνταρ, καθώς και ένας και ένας από τους πρώτους που δεν περιελάμβαναν drive δισκέτας. Οι Amiga ήταν επίσης οι πρώτοι υπολογιστές όπου ήταν δυνατή η φθηνή δειγματοληψία ήχου και η ψηφιοποίηση video. Από το 2000 περίπου το hardware έχει φτάσει σε σημείο να προσομοιώνεται από προσομοιωτές Amiga σε διάφορες πλατφόρμες, ικανούς να αναπαράγουν τις λειτουργίες του hardware της Amiga στο software.

It was affordable and easy to use. It had a wide range of software, in particular, games which Jay Minor, the creator of the Amiga, had designed it for. The Amiga A1200 is based on the Motorola 68020 14MHz Processor with 2MbRAM, a single 880K floppy drive with support for three more floppy drives, a Custom Chipset that provides the Sound and Graphics. The Amiga runs the Operating System called AmigaOS which consists of the Kickstart ROM which contains some essential libraries and devices needed to load Workbench which is the desktop: Figure 1 You can a while menu bar at the top and all the disks mounted on the right hand of the screen. The Ram Disk is a special one which is a disk in memory basically. More on Workbench will be explained later.
