Original Amiga name ?

[Daff]

In the beginning of the Amiga history, the Amiga 1000 was simply named "Amiga" or "Commodore Amiga".

In different source on Internet, we can see the there was a name change to "Amiga 1000" when the Amiga 2000 was developed in 1986.

But I have found on the november 1985 issue of the french magazine Tilt the word "Amiga A 1000" : http://obligement.free.fr/temp/tilt26_novembre1985_page020.jpg (bottom of the page).

So the questions : when the "numbering naming" (1000, 500,...) was launched ? Is there any article on Amiga World (issue 1 and 2) mentionning "Amiga 1000" or such ? Is the name "Amiga 1000" or such was already known in 1985 ? How the guy in Tilt have found the name of "Amiga A 1000" in november (time of write : october) 1985 ?

I hope some Amiga specialists can help to clear this question. If it's true, all Internet articles about the naming of the Amiga 1000 must be rewritten.

DonnyEMU : the number "1000" of your Amiga is mentionned where ? In the motherboard ? The docs ?

I have found this : http://www.amiga-resistance.info/download_photos/a1000mbreva.jpg

The "1000" is mentionned on the PSU :

CA1000PS -> Commodore Amiga 1000 Power Supply
It's the "Rev A" model from april 1986. Earlier model doesn't seem to have have "1000" mention.

Thanks beller. It prove that the name "Amiga 1000" was official or at least known very early in the Amiga history.

I will update my articles.
