   We are happy to welcome in the vas
This unassuming kusochke mira
kompyutera Amiga! Sovetuem unto you
prochitat this nebolshuyu statyu,
dazhe in sluchae, If it vas
DO NOT question ochen something interesuet.
Lo zakinut in depth svoego
brain a little informatsii nikogda
DO NOT vredno.

   HOW was obeschano in predyduschem nomere zhurnala, we seychas
poprobuem probezhatsya on vsem
modelyam kompyutera Amiga, vypuskavshimsya ranshe, and tem, 
kotorye vypuskayutsya in nashi days. Srazu prosba - DO NOT 
bespokoytes, If the unto you vstretyatsya neznakomye

(Neponyatnye) Words, tak HOW to
kontse stati You obnaruzhite
nebolshoy list in which they
znachenie budet poyasneno. Itak,
vpered ...

   Nachnem we estestvenno with
samoy staroy modeli - A1000. Ona
byla vpervye predstavlena July 23, 1985 Year period at Lincoln 
tsentre (New York). This Day of mnogie people nazvali datoy, 
izmenivshey buduschee kompyuterov. A to sentyabre Amiga 1000 
uzhe obrela their pervyh polzovateley. Davayte see that ona of 
sebya predstavlyala:  Protsessor - Motorola 68000 nA

taktovoy chastote 7.14 MHz,
sostavlyaet menee chem 1 mips.
 Spetsialnye chips - Portia, Agnus, Daphne.
 RAM - 256 kb, rasshiryaemye to
512 kb (pozdnee to 8.5 Mb). In
samyh pervyh variantah, esche DO NOT
prednaznachennyh for prodazhi,
stood vsego 128 kb!
 HDD - 20 MB, which ustanavlivalsya on zhelaniyu klienta za 
dopolnitelnye dengi. A cost it udovolstvie $ 1000.

 FDD - a DS / DD 3.5 dyuyma nA
880 kb.

   It was PERVY kompyuter using output bolee 16 tsvetov
HOW standartnuyu opportunity. And in
spetsialnom rezhime could
output lyuboe kolichestvo tsvetov up to vsey palitry
(4096 tsvetov). It was takzhe
pervy kompyuter with mnogozadachnoy
operatsionnoy sistemoy, chetyrehkanalnym stereo audio, and mouse
HOW standart. Amiga 1000 -
edinstvennaya model, kikstart
which zagruzhalsya with diska. Ee
tsena sostavlyala $ 2000, while TIME, HOW primitivnye 
odnozadachnye PC cost around $ 4000! Mashina

imela vsego one slot rasshireniya, tak HOW Commodore hotela
sohranit nizkie tseny.

   In 1987 byla vypuschena
sleduyuschaya model. Ona nazyvalas
Amiga 2000. Eta model was
greater opportunities for rasshireniya and imela 5 slots Zorro 
II, plus RESIDENCE slot.


   Primechanie: All slots are avtokonfiguriruemymi (protocol 
autoconfig - genialnaya ideya. Because za totality takogo

plana idey, kompyuter Amiga and
yavlyaetsya revolyutsionnoy mashinoy).

 Protsessor - Motorola 68000 at
taktovoy chastote 7.14 MHz.
 Spetsialnye chips - Agnus, Denise, Paula, Gary.
 RAM - 1 MB, with the possibility rasshireniya to 9 MB.
 FDD - a DS / DD 3.5 dyuyma nA
880 kb. Pozzhe - a large screen 3.5 +
5.25 dyuyma inside and can esche
was tseplyat vneshne.

  Primechanie: bolshe of diskovodah
upominatsya DO NOT budet, tak HOW lyubaya model mozhet imet 4 
prakticheski any drayva, HOW DD tak and HD (1.76 MB).



   Kikstart this modeli was uzhe
in ROM obemom 256 kb. Amiga 2000
stala basis for other (bolee
powerful or rasshirennyh) modeley
- A1500 (A2000 with two diskovodami), A2000HD, A2500/20,
A2500/30, A2000HDA/100, A1500 +
and A2000 +.

   Pozdnee, this year, zhe, byla
vypuschena Amiga 500. It was a variant uproschenny Amiga 2000, 
with kompaktnym dizaynom (klaviatura

in one main building with mashinoy) and bez
vnutrennih slots (one imelsya
full sistemny razem). Obe
modeli imeli new grafichesky
rezhim - Extra Half Bright (dopolnitelnye gradatsii tsvetov with
half brightness), which
daval 64 tsveta nA ekrane, a well as a new kikstart - 1.2.

   In 1988-1989 there were godah
of climate with spetsialnymi chipami. Agnus prevratilsya in Fat 
Agnus, a pozzhe - a Fatter Agnus, which could upravlyat one (a

slightly pozzhe and two) MB graficheskoy (chip) memory is.

   In 1990 byla sozdana pervaya fully 32 bitnaya machine, with 
protsessorom 68030, and uluchshennoy graficheskoy sistemoy

(ECS chipset). Model nazyvalas
Amiga 3000.
 Protsessor - Motorola 68030/16
MHz (pozdnee - 25 MHz).
 Matematichesky soprotsessor -
68881 (pozdnee - 68882).
 Spetsialnye chips - Fatter Agnus, Denise, Paula, Gary.
 RAM - 2 MB rasshiryaemye 18
MB (2 MB chip, 16 Mb fast).

   Mashina imela vstroenny SCSI
kontroller and Zorro III slots, a
kikstart imel versiyu 2.0
(The big shag on kachestvenny
vseh predyduschih versy) and zanimal 512 kb of ROM.

   Amiga 3000 vypuskalas takzhe
in the main building tipa "tower" (A3000T).
Byla esche and UNIX-model
(A3000UX). Vse they could at zhelanii podklyuchatsya to monitor
VGA.

   Cherez neskolko mesyatsev poyavilas model Amiga 500 + (nA 
which kstati, nabiralas eta statya). This variant uluchshenny

A500, otlichayuschiysya tem that imeet 1 MB memory umolchaniyu,
rasshiryaemoy up to 10 MB (2 MB chip
+ 8 MB of fast), ECS chipset and esche
nekotorymi pleasant melochami.

   Obe modeli (A3000 and A500 +)
imeli new grafichesky rezhim -
Up to 1470 * 580 (4 tsveta).

   In 1991 byla vypuschena model under nazvaniem CDTV 
(Commodore Dynamic Total Vision) and imela kodovoe addressed 
"babe" (child) HOW TO TIME tak ee razrabotki sostavilo exactly 
9 mesyatsev. Eta mashina was made based on the A500 and 
otlichalas nalichiem CDRom drive, neobychnym dizaynom and 
infrakrasnoy distantsionnoy mouse. But eta model DO NOT 
strongly privlekla vnimanie pokupateley, chastichno

because of lack nA za ney znachka
firms chastichno from za negotovnosti potrebitelskogo rynka to
similar mashinam, a mostly
of za nebolshogo kolichestva
programm, sdelannyh spetsialno
for nee.

   Takzhe this year was vypuschen
CDRom drayv (A570) for the Amiga
500 (+).

   In marte 1992 Year period in Anglii
nachalos production of new modeli - Amiga 600. Protsessor 
ostalsya 68000/7.14 MHz. Tak a chem zhe raznitsa mezhdu A600 
and A500? In the pervyh - ona sobiralas metodom poverhnostnogo 
montazha (for snizheniya sebestoimosti). In nee

takzhe were dobavleny RF modulator, Microphone jack full 
tsvetnogo LF Video signala and samoe glavnoe,

vstroenny kontroller IDE "vinchestera and PCMCIA slot. Amiga
600 yavlyaetsya samoy malenkoy modelyu, nesmotrya nA that drive 
prodolzhaet be vstroennym, and vinchester "vstavlyaetsya 
korpusa inside. Cherez nekotoroe TIME stala vypuskatsya model

A600HD with vinchesterom, ustanovlennym nA zavode. But the A600 
Apartment belongs nedostatok - otsutstvie nA klaviature 
otdelnogo field tsiframi (DO NOT allow razmery korpusa). 

   Rumors that the Commodore
preparing a new model Amiga, with
uluchshennoy graficheskoy sistemoy,
podderzhivat able to 16.7
Million. tsvetov, okazalis pravdoy!
In sentyabre 1992 Year period nA show
"World Of Commodore" in Pasadene / Kaliforniya was predstavlena
pervaya machinery, osnaschennuyu AGA
chipset (Advanced Graphics
Architecture).

   Firma obyavila it samoe
znachitelnoe uluchshenie, sdelannoe 1985 Year period. Ha this 
show zhe byla predstavlena novaya versiya

operatsionnoy sistemy - 3.0.

   In dekabre nachalsya seriyny
Issue pervoy modeli with AGA chipset. This byla Amiga 4000/40. 
Ee tsena in SSHA sostavlyala $ 3,699.

 Protsessor - Motorola 68040 nA
chastote 25 MHz.
 Spetsialnye chips - Super Gary,
Super Ramsey, Super Amber, Lisa,
Alice, Paula.
 RAM - 6 MB (2 MB chip and 4 MB
fast).
 HDD - 120 MB IDE, zaranee otformatirovanny.

   In this modeli byla primenena
SIMM-tehnologiya for rasshireniya
The memory and two-speed high-density FDD zapisi (1.76Mb).

   By Rozhdestvu 1992 Year period byla
vypuschena pozhaluy samaya populyarnaya in the world model - 
Amiga 1200. This byla mashina tipa A600

(On the case) but with full klaviaturoy. Ee value SSHA byla
$ 599. Ona imela AGA chipset,
vstroenny IDE-kontroller "vinchestera", PCMCIA slot, 32-bit 
razem rasshireniya and new kikstart - 3.0.1. In the A1200 was

primenen protsessor Motorola
68EC20 with taktovoy chastotoy 14
MHz. Ha predusmotreno mesto plate for ustanovki matematicheskogo
soprotsessora. Standartno ustanovleno 2 MB chip memory is to 
which you can add an esche 8 MB fast. Here pora zametit that AGA

chipset mozhet pokazyvat 256
tsvetov in high razreshenii and
bolee 256.000 (!) in spetsialnom
rezhime (and Vse of this palitry
16.7 million. tsvetov and high
rate). Tak that model Amiga
1200 yavlyaetsya idealnoy mnogotselevoy Machinery for Houses or 
naprimer for studio kabelnogo televideniya. Kachestvennyh toys 
and prikladnyh programm hvataet with a vengeance.


   Operatsionnaya sistema 3.xx
podderzhivaet Vse novye opportunities predostavlyaemye AGA 
chipset, a takzhe imeet to wide range preimuschestv pered vsemi 
predyduschimi sistemami that delaet rabotu with ney ochen fast 
comfortable and enjoyable. 

   Amiga 4000/40 DO NOT byla nastolko deshevoy to date every 
could ee sebe afford, so

pozdnee was vypuschen udeshevlenny
ee variant - A4000/30 nA protsessore Motorola 68EC30

   In sentyabre 1993 Year period byla vypuschena purely 
igrovaya mashina - Amiga CD32. This byla pervaya in

mire 32 bitnaya console. Ona
imela 2-speed CDRom
drayv, 2 MB chip memory is, AGA
chipset, the possibility prevrascheniya
in polnotsenny kompyuter (from memory is 10 MB, vinchesterom 
"diskovodami, klaviaturoy, etc.). Takzhe imelos vstroennoe 
programmnoe obespechenie proigryvaniya for a CD-Audio and 
podklyuchaemy module prosmotra videodiskov (Full Motion Video). 
In Amiga CD32 ispolzovan kikstart

3.1.

   In nachale 1995 Year period avtorskie
prava nA Amiga were prodany germanskoy firme "Escom". But this
long history, we poprobuem
rasskazat in one of sleduyuschih
nomerov zhurnala. A seychas skazhem
just what DO NOT tak davno nachat
Issue Amiga 4000/60T. In ney
primenen protsessor Motorola
68060 with taktovoy chastotoy 50
MHz. Proizvedeny and nekotorye of climate in zheleze (naprimer 
SCSI-III kontroller). On productivity telnosti mashinka quietly 
srav nivaetsya with Pentium-133 MHz, a for


vsemu ostalnomu ona just DO NOT
pobedima!



   Here, vrode and Vse ... Teper
obeschanny micro slovarik.


           ________


   Mips - kolichestvo operatsy,
vypolnyaemyh protsessorom (million sekundu);

   Kikstart - chast (osnovnaya)
operatsionnoy sistemy, zashitaya in
ROM and soderzhaschaya Vse podprogrammy, dannye, etc. 
neobhodimye for raboty mashiny;


   Chipset - spetsialnyh set of chips;

   Spetsialnye chips - mikroshemy, razrabotannye spetsialno for
kompyuterov Amiga and yavlyayuschiesya
basis ee nepovtorimyh osobennostey;

   Chip The memory - The memory in which tsentralny protsessor 
DO NOT imeet isklyuchitelnogo prioriteta, tak HOW TIME delit 
with spetschipami. Nazyvat this memory is

The memory or graficheskoy RESIDENCE -
DO NOT sovsem korrektno;

   Fast memory is - The memory in which protsessor imeet 
isklyuchitelny prioritet and rabotaet with maksimalnoy speed. 
Raznitsa speed mezhdu chip and fast memory is sostavlyaet in 
srednem 20-30%.


           ________



   If the someone esche anything DO NOT
understandable, then smelo zvonite Phone + in kontse stati.


   In zaklyuchenie hochetsya DO NOT ask the judge kompyuterah
Amiga, though nA taktovuyu chastotu and obem The memory and 
sravnivaya them with IBM, because it ABSO

Lute NEVERNY approach.

   In sleduyuschem nomere will davatsya otvety nA naibolee 
chasto zadavaemye on kompyuteram Amiga

questions.


   Until vstrechi in our boarding malenkom
