The Amiga 2000 also made a couple of appearances in season 4 or 5. I'm rewatching the series on DVD and if I remember, I'll grab some screen caps when I get there.

I'm such a muppet I remember this the first time around... Sheesh!

Yeah the A1000 is the main Amiga in Miami Vice. Appears in about 8 episodes - Police Station, various 'trendy' offices. The A2000 is not on for long - it appears in one episode and that's the lot.

That I'd love to see, but basically out of curiosity as it would be interesting to find out which app he ran for the task, in case it's actually visible

I'd have to dig my DVD's out and take some shots but whenever they are searching the police database they use Workbench 1.3 and some type of CLI app... it looks very cool

they were all over the place, I watched all 5 seasons in a few weeks time and noticed a LOT of Amiga's often the same in totally different offices. A1000 was most often there, but as said, some A2000 showed up aswell. Overall very nice to see them in such a cool cult TV show!

Yeah, you're right, they're all over the place.

Like Shoons would say : Moar!

Really cool to find the 'real' star in MV now
