Historical document: Amiga presentation from 1984
In June 1984, the heads of "Amiga Computer, Inc." had met with representatives of Commodore to discuss the licensing or purchase of Amiga's currently developed technology. Commodore's financial director at the time, Don Greenbaum has now presented the hobby archaeologists from the 'Commodore International Historical Society' the document with which the Californian start-up used to advertise its computer at the time.
The computer described in the PDF already has clear similarities with the end customer product presented a year later, although it still has a
5.25-inch floppy disk drive, an "expansion slot" in the top of the housing, a cartridge slot and an internal modem. IBM compatibility could be retrofitted via an "MS-DOS cartridge". (cg)
