🎄💾🗓️ Day 13: Retrocomputing Advent Calendar -🎄Amiga 500 💾🗓️

The Amiga 500 is considered one of Commodore's most important home computers, introduced in 1987; it was important because of how advanced the features were for the time. It was based on a Motorola 68000 CPU running at 7.16 MHz in NTSC versions and at 7.09 MHz for PAL ones, with the main version of 512 KB RAM expandable up to 9 MB. Its OCS provided respectable graphics performance, going up to 736×567 interlaced, with 32 colors out of 4096. The sound system consisted of four 8-bit PCM channels and could give out stereo at as high as 28 kHz. With the keyboard integrated and a compact design, it was ready for home users, while the multitasking operating system, AmigaOS, differentiated it from the rest. At a price the market could afford and featuring multimedia capabilities, this combination contributed to its popularity as it went on to sell about 2.6 million units worldwide.

Amiga - DiskCopier v1.0a (23.11.2024)

Qué lindo es tener amistades de las cuales podes ser vos misma. Amigas que más que amigas son como mis hermanas, las que están siempre. Cuando estoy mal sé que puedo recurrir a ellas, cuando estoy feliz es porque estoy con ellas. Ellas aunque no lo sepan me salvan, aunque no se los diga seguido las amo, y ojalá que nuestra amistad dure toda la vida porque me hacen bien y gracias por eso, gracias por ser parte de mi vida y hacerla un poquito más agradable y cálida.🤍✨

 peut on être sur de prendre les bonnes décisions quand on est amoureux ... ? cet état n'est il pas mis en œuvre par une partie inconsciente de notre esprit, partie qui cherche depuis toujours à se reproduire et que notre esprit n'aime pas admettre sa présence et sa volonté ? est ce que la fidélité imposée par notre société est compatible sur le long terme avec cet état ? l'interaction des deux ne provoque t'elle pas la plus par du temps beaucoup de souffrance ?

 ¿podemos estar seguros de tomar las decisiones correctas cuando estamos enamorados... ? ¿No es este estado implementado por una parte inconsciente de nuestra mente, una parte que siempre ha intentado reproducirse y que a nuestra mente no le gusta admitir su presencia y su voluntad? ¿La fidelidad impuesta por nuestra sociedad es compatible a largo plazo con este estado? ¿No causa la interacción de ambos mucho sufrimiento la mayoría de las veces? 

 can we be sure to make the right decisions when we are in love... ? Isn't this state implemented by an unconscious part of our mind, a part that has always tried to reproduce itself and that our mind doesn't like to admit its presence and its will? Is the fidelity imposed by our society compatible in the long term with this state? Doesn't the interaction of the two cause a lot of suffering most of the time?

In July of 1985 Commodore released their Amiga 1000 as part of their Amiga line. Two years later it was discontinued. It ran off a Motorola 68000 processor and AmigaOS 1.0. Similarly to the Macintosh 128K, the Macintosh 512k, and the Macintosh Plus, it had a 4P4C modular connector for a keyboard attachment.

Amiga 1000

The Amiga1000 was introduced in the summer of 1985 and was the first machine in the Amiga family. Commodore acquired the technology through the acquisition of the Amiga company, which was originally developed by engineers Jay Miner and Larry Kaplan who had left Atari.

The goal was to develop a gaming platform with graphics and sound capabilities ahead of its time. This goal was achieved, but in the process, they created a complete computer instead of a game console.

The technical side of things went well enough, but financial problems meant they had to look for an investor, and ended up with Commodore.

The Amiga 1000 was a true multimedia computer. The 7MHz Motorola 68000 (PAL/7.09MHz PAL NTSC/7.16MHz) and 256kB of memory were roughly equivalent to those offered by the competition. In contrast, the 8-bit stereo sound and outstanding color graphics were well ahead of its contemporaries. However, neither the PC, Atari ST, nor even the Apple Macintosh had a multitasking operating system (AmigaOS). (although until the advent of faster machines, this was a disadvantage rather than an advantage) Read more about the story here: Geekometery - Jay Miner & The Amiga Computer

Un día como hoy (22 de noviembre) en la computación

El 22 de noviembre de 1995, se lanza por primera vez el software de open source y gratuito GIMP, de manipulación de imágenes digitales de bitmaps, disponible para Unix, Linux (GNU), BSD, Solaris, AmigaOS, Windows y MacOS.

El software había iniciado como un proyecto semestral de la U de California en Berkeley de Spencer Kinball y Peter Mattis en julio de ese año.

La primer compilación (0.1) sale en esta fecha. La versión estable 0.54 sale en septiembre de 1996 y la versión inicial 1.0 el 5 de junio de 1998.

Gorky 17

Metropolis Software was perhaps the first Polish video game studio, founded in 1992 by Adrian Chmielarz and Grzegorz Miechowski, two very important figures of the Polish video game industry; Chmielarz eventually designed and directed games such as Painkiller or The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, while Miechowski co-founded 11 bit studios, who released This War of Mine and Frostpunk. Metropolis’ fourth game, Gorky 17 (1999), is perhaps their last game with a good reception; the studio produced half a dozen more games that never got great reviews, then was eventually bought then closed by compatriots CD Projekt. This horror tactical RPG was warmly received in Europe, though sales never were chart-topping; it was also released in North America as Odium, but did not make much of a splash there. The game ambled on after its initial release, getting a Macintosh port in 2002, a Linux port in 2006, and an AmigaOS port in 2015; however the Linux version distributed on Steam is incompatible with more recent flavors of Linux due to a Wine incompatibility. It is overall a very good game, one worth revisiting and a great European obscurity.
