\"Amiga<\/a>After a hiatus – which followed a bit of a letdown in Part 3 – Ars Technica’s History of the Amiga<\/em> continues in Part 4<\/a> – once more in fine form. We get the background on both Jack Tramiel and Irving Gould and follow Amiga Inc. through near-disaster to its apparent salvation at the hands of Commodore.\n<\/p>

\nSome props are given to Carl Sassenrath for the Amiga kernel and his plans for the OS; we see some pushing and shoving in the decision on how much RAM to include in the machine; and we get a vivid description of the Amiga’s launch event, complete with Debby Harry and Andy Warhol.\n<\/p>

Good reading<\/a>.\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
