Welcome to my Amiga collection.
This page is a repository for all of the Amiga systems, peripherals, and accessories in my collection.
Commodore Amiga 500
| Type | Home computer |
|---|---|
| Release date | April 1987 |
| Discontinued | February 1992 |
| Operating system | Amiga OS v1.3 |
| CPU | Motorola 68000 @ 7.09 MHz |
| Memory | 512 KB (9 MB max.) |
The A500 was the first low-end version of the Amiga home computer, with a similar chipset to the Amiga 1000, but in a smaller case with integrated peripherals similar to that of the Commodore 128. It competed directly against models in the Atari ST line, and was followed by a revised version of the computer: the Amiga 500+.
Commodore Amiga 500+
| Type | Home computer |
|---|---|
| Release date | October 1991 |
| Discontinued | July 1992 |
| Operating system | Amiga OS v2.04 |
| CPU | Motorola 68000 @ 7.09 MHz |
| Memory | 1 MB (10 MB max.) |
The Commodore Amiga 500+ is an upgraded version of the original Amiga 500 computer. It introduced new versions of Kickstart and Workbench, 1MB RAM, and minor chipset improvements. Although officially introduced in 1992, some A500+ units had already been sold (masquerading as A500 models) during late 1991. It was discontinued and replaced by the Amiga 600 in summer 1992, making it the shortest-lived Amiga model.
My A500+ has serial number 000657.
Expansion Systems DataFlyer Express
| Type | Sidecar expansion |
|---|---|
| Release date | 1992 |
| Discontinued | Unknown |
| Operating system | N/A |
| CPU | N/A |
| Memory | 512 KB (8 MB max.) |
The A500 has a “sidecar” expansion bus directly attached to the CPU, which was utilised by a wide variety of expansion cards and boxes, including the Expansion Systems “Zappo / DataFlyer Express”. This features a 3.5″ HDD on either an internal 40-pin IDE or 50-pin SCSI interface, an external DB25 SCSI interface, an auto-boot ROM, and eight 30 pin SIMM sockets accept up to 8 MB RAM.

Commodore Amiga 600
| Type | Home computer |
|---|---|
| Release date | March 1992 |
| Discontinued | August 1993 |
| Operating system | Amiga OS v2.05 |
| CPU | Motorola 68000 @ 7.09 MHz |
| Memory | 1 MB (6 MB max.) |
The Amiga 600, or A600, is a home computer introduced in March 1992. It is the final Amiga model based on the Motorola 68000 and the Amiga Enhanced Chip Set (ECS). A redesign of the Amiga 500+, it adds the option of an internal hard disk drive and a PCMCIA port. Like the A500, the A600 was aimed at the lower end of the market, and was intended it to revitalize sales before the introduction of the 32-bit Amiga 1200.

Commodore Amiga 1200
| Type | Home computer |
|---|---|
| Release date | October 1992 |
| Discontinued | July 1996 |
| Operating system | Amiga OS v3.0 |
| CPU | Motorola 68EC020 @ 14 MHz |
| Memory | 2 MB (10 MB max.) |
The Amiga 1200, or A1200, is a personal computer in the Amiga computer family released by Commodore International, aimed at the home computer market. It was launched a few months after the Amiga 600, using a similar slimline design – whereas the A600 used the 16-bit Motorola 68000 of earlier Amigas, the A1200 was built around the faster and more powerful Motorola 68EC020.

Commodore Amiga CD32
| Type | Games console |
|---|---|
| Release date | September 1993 |
| Discontinued | April 1994 |
| Operating system | AmigaOS 3.1 |
| CPU | Motorola 68EC020 @ 14.18 MHz (PAL), 14.32 MHz (NTSC) |
| Memory | 2 MB (10 MB max.) |
The Amiga CD32 is a home video game console from Commodore, as well as the final hardware to be developed by the company – it sold middingly in European markets and was withdrawn from sale when Commodore filed for bankruptcy in April 1994. The CD32 was marketed as the “first” 32-bit games console and is essentially an A1200 computer without the keyboard or I/O ports, and with a CD-ROM drive instead of the 3.5″ FDD and a modified AGA chipset for improved graphical performance.

Commodore Amiga 2000
| Type | Home computer |
|---|---|
| Release date | March 1987 |
| Discontinued | July 1991 |
| Operating system | Amiga OS v1.2/1.3/2.0 |
| CPU | Motorola 68000 @ 7.09 MHz |
| Memory | 1 MB (9 MB max.) |
The Amiga 2000 (A2000) was introduced as a “big box” expandable variant of the Amiga 1000, but was quickly redesigned to share most of its electronics from the Amiga 500 for cost reduction. Expansion capabilities include: two 3.5″ drive bays; one 5.25″ bay (for a 5.25″ FDD, a HDD, or CD-ROM); five Zorro II card slots (for expansion cards such as SCSI host adapters, memory cards, CPU cards, network cards, graphics cards, serial port cards, and PC cards such as the A2088 bridgeboard); four PC ISA slots for IBM PC XT compatibility.

Commodore Amiga 4000/030
| Type | Home computer |
|---|---|
| Release date | April 1993 |
| Discontinued | September 1994 |
| Operating system | Amiga OS v3.0 |
| CPU | Motorola 68EC030 @ 25 MHz |
| Memory | 2 MB (18 MB max.) |
The Amiga 4000, or A4000, was the successor of the A2000 and A3000 computers. There are two models: the A4000/040 from 1992 with a Motorola 68040 CPU, and the A4000/030 from 1993 with a Motorola 68EC030.
The A4000 system design was similar to that of the A3000, but introduced the Advanced Graphics Architecture (AGA) chipset with enhanced graphics. The SCSI system from previous Amigas was replaced by the lower-cost Parallel ATA.

Commodore Amiga A1010 FDD
| Type | 3.5″ Floppy Disk Drive |
|---|---|
| Release date | July 1985 |
| Discontinued | Unknown |
| Operating system | N/A |
| CPU | N/A |
| Memory | N/A |
The Amiga 1010 3.5″ external FDD was released alongside the A1000, and features a similar case design. As HDDs were very expensive in the 1980s, and disk management was difficult when using only one FDD, adding secondary drives to a setup was very common. It supports 3.5″ double-density (DD) 880 KB floppy disks, and connects to an Amiga through the external drive port (DB-23).

The Philips CM8833-II is a 14″ colour CRT computer display with an RGB input that was popular in the early 1990s for use with Commodore Amiga and Atari ST computers.
