Take the quiz.
link (http://www.tetzl.de/quiz/quiz.cgi?L=en)
-
Got 15 right hehehe.
Surprised I knew some of Amiga history though im only 21 :-)
-
Quick run: 23 out of 30. Damn questions about libraries, who wants to know that anyway?
-
64% correct, average Amiga knowledge.
I had to guess a few answers, especially about the libraries and functions :-?
Not too bad considering I haven't touched a real Amiga in years.
-
You scored 29 points out of 30 possible.
That is 97 percent.

Wooo!
Only got the number of keys on a keyboard question wrong!
-
Which keyboard was it that was asked about?
-
22 out of 30! 74%
Average amiga Knowledge!
-
22.
Some very silly mistakes.
Learned some stuff.
:-D

The dates got me. :(
I thought it was 95 for the bankrupcy and that Amiga Inc was the name after Commodore was asset stripped. Mehh
-
Excellent :)
One thing...
Q29: How many general purpose (data/address) registers has a Motorola 680x0 processor?
I'll not give the answer away, but on the other hand I'd argue that at least one is not general purpose (it's always the stack pointer) that they're split between data and address not general purpose. Nothing stops you using an address register for data, on the other hand you can't use indirecet addressing on an address stored in a data register ;)
Really enjoyed that quiz! I think you could do a monthly one :D
-
I got 15 / 15 too. Some were guesses but I am 18 so I don't think it's to bad.
-
16) In which country was the A2000 hardware developed?
possible answers
USA
Germany
Phillipines
Bahamas
is rather arbitrary: the very first A2000 (A1000 based) was developed in Germany, but was very quickly replaced with the West Chester design (A500 based). There is no 'the' A2000 hardware, because there are two different versions. "In which country was the first A2000 hardware developed" would be more appropriate.
10) How many keys are on a standard Amiga keyboard?
possible answers
96
98
104
110
The English versions only have 94 keys.
Nonetheless, a very nice quiz. :-D
-
er.. only 20 points.. :shrug:
-
15/15. some complete gueses...
-
23 out of 30.I got 77%.Not bad at all!:)
-
21/30 = 70%
well i got something right :-)
-
I did think some of the questions were a bit much but that could just be nooby me. :roll:
-
How dare it call me a cheat! :lol:
23 :-)

Commodore always called the American A2000's B2000's I think, if you look at the techincal docs showing the pinout of the CPU slot its always A2000/B2000.
That said, the front cover always showed the A2000 text...
-
I got 18/30 first pass !
not bad, but some of 'em I did kick myself for getting wrong.
-
Got 20 out of 30 right. 67%. All the library and "exec" questions, etc. etc. I had to guess at.
I agree that the A2000 development question should be re-worded to "first prototype" to reflect the two teams developing it in Germany and the USA.

I scored 25 points out of 30 possible.

-----
I was wrong on the first one (the "public" word made me think it was 86), and the number of keys in the keyboard (I was honest, I had a keyboard next to me... :)
-
25 also!
I´ve missed the keyboard and I was sure exec was mad by RJ Mical...

Although, I thought that it was possible to get an effective 12 bit audio output using the volume control as well as the audio data through Denise? I believe one of the later versions of ProTracker did this... or does it use extra hardware outside of the Denise proper?
-
AFAIR, they get a "14-bit" audio output through Paula (not Denise!). I am not sure whether this trick qualifies as a real 14-bit or if it has some limitations...anyway, there was no 14 bit option in the quiz! ;-)

Only 24/30 80% Average Amiga intelligence.

10P i am beginner thats true :)
make samekind question from C64 :) i am sure i will be better in that
:lol:

Not bad (the library questions really killed me), but the first question's a trick question IMHO. I answered 1984 (Jan 1984 @ CES), when the Amiga was first presented. Didn't realize until after that the question had "Amiga 1000" in it. :evil:

hehe... not too bad :-)

17/30
Did some wild guesses on the geeky software questions...not my bag anyway
-
I got three wrong:
The Month of commodore's bankruptcy
Only Amiga Makes is possible (though, I'm pretty sure the answer is wrong)
How many keys on the keyboard...
-
Got 2 wrongs: related to address/libraries.
28 points in the first passage. Not bad at all.

guessed all the library ones...havent a clue about them.

@yorgle & darkcoder
The 14 bit audio trick in Paula works by combining the two voices of a channel - one is set to maximum volume and one to minimum. You play the data's high 8 bit on the loud voice and the low 6 bit as the lower 6 bit of the quiet voice. Combined this pretty much gives - 14 bit.

:-o Finally an answer I understand, I was wondering about this for years :crazy:
Thanks!

Nice quiz!
21... :-)
This question:
On which address is the Amiga exec.library pointer located
I thought was a bit hard!
-
22/30... speeded through this fun test in about a minute, learned a few things. Still I find some of the questions quite irrellevant for judging ones genuine Amiga knowledge.
I must say, comparing to my Amiga surroundings, I hardly see myself as an "Average" Amiga user. :-D

I was doing well until all the techie stuff hehe

Some of them were luck!! I've been very lucky during this test :-D
Nice work!! More of theese, thanks :-)

It has to be. The "correct" answer makes no sense in english.
