Amiga 1000
In June 1984, Amiga demonstrates a new computer, code-named "Lorraine".
Commodore purchases Amiga Corporation in August 1984. In july of 1985 Commodore unveils the Amiga 1000 in New-York. It features a multitasking, windowing operating system, using a Motorola 68000 CPU, with 256KB RAM, and 880KB 3.5-inch disk drive, packaged in a neat, compact desktop case, offering the unique feature of a "keyboard garage".
All for US$1300.
The software for this grandfather of the Amigas still runs flawlessly on the newest models.
The A1000 was followed by the pair A500/A2000. The A500 became the leading home computer succeeding the Commodore C64, while the A2000, with its vast expansion capabilities via slots and bays, became the work horse for professional applications.
