From Bedrooms to Billions: The Amiga Years

cstanton

Did anyone else back the Kickstarter?

 

This documentary is about 2hr 30min long and covers from microcontrollers, through to the Apple computers and introducing the birth and life of the Commodore Amiga. It's pretty fascinating, contains a lot of great interviews and sketches of computer design.

 

It's about £10 for the digital copy: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/amiga

  • I certainly was influenced by the Amiga and I still have my Amiga 1000. I along with most owners was extremely frustrated with the corporate shenanigans that actively prevented the marque from progressing and surviving. I doubt it is possible to document all the real reasons the Amiga died, but it is good to see someone is trying to deduce its effect on the industry.

    I admit we have an A600 and A1200 in the house, we also have access to an A500. I've been intending on acquiring replacement EEPROM chips to up the A1200 to the workbench 3.1 ROMs, apparently it's possible to acquire like for like chips and use the ROM files you can download from the Google Play store.
