Amiga Computers
During the time period between 1985 and 1994, Commodore retained exclusive control over the Amigas development.
The Commodore Amiga series is separated into three generations that
demonstrate an improvement in processing power and graphic capabilities.
At each stage, the custom chipset were upgraded from the Original ChipSet (OCS), to the Enhanced
ChipSet (ECS), and finally Advanced Graphic
Architecture (AGA). After their demise, Amiga Technologies/Amiga
International continued to distribute the A1200 and A4000T machines. The following
list is divided according to chipset and release date. To read a
detailed description of the Amiga chipset, read

Amiga Clones
Following the closure of Commodore, third party companies were
licensed to develop their own Amiga clones.
They did not allow 3rd party manufacturers to develop their own
Amiga clones, fearing that it would impact their own revenues and
threatening hefty lawsuits when it happened. Fortunately, subsequent
owners have had an open licensing policy allowing those interested
to license the technology for a specific market. These systems are
aimed to move the Classic Amiga market into new directions.
