Magazine articles with earliest references to the Amiga

BigT · 21 April 2020, 17:54

I was going through some old magazines and came across an early reference to the Amiga in the Australian Personal Computer - May 1984. The short article talks about Amiga the company and it's computer the Lorraine, making the decision to use the 68000 and that the computer will be it's major product in 1984 ! Maybe an AMR section on magazine articles covering the Amiga before it was launcned or other (often incorrect) pre-release information might be an interesting collection.

Here's one of the early references to Amiga in BYTE Magazine April 1984. Less than $1000 and 128KB RAM before the end of 1984...

This is one of the earliest detailed write-ups of the Lorraine computer in August 1984. Should be ready for shipment by Christmas !

Another great early article describing demo's from the secret room and amazing specs of a new computer.
