Amiga returns with new hardware promised
Amiga has risen again from the ashes, and has made a new product annoucement. Amiga Inc who bought the rights to the Amiga computer back in 1999 is promising a new range of Amiga hardware running Amiga OS4, starting from $500.
Since Commodore led Amiga into backruptcy in 1994 there has been 34 separate announcements regarding the return of Amiga hardware, but only one materialized into a product for sale.
During the mid to late 80’s the Amiga was years ahead of other PC hardware, thanks to a custom selection of dedicated processing chips that enabled it to produce graphics and sound that were matched by PC hardware until several years later.
