Heh, Hollywood! I'd guess the 6800 isn't his typo :-)

Yep, she said: Sixty-eight-hundred chipset. I was waiting for the comments on that  :-D

Looks like they made a right mess of that then. An A500/A1000 would have been better.

LOL! I used to have an Amiga 1000 with a home made zorro expansion housed in an IBM PC case complete  with a 2091 hard drive controller and a couple of scsi drives. Looked alot like that actually. My gHEtToNeSs has been topped by netowrk TV. Cool.

About the black case... How many of us have YELLOW Amiga 1200s? I suspect the system they bought on ebay was too yellow for prime time.

AS for the PC case on the bottom. If you're not an Amiga or Commdore fan, the Amiga 1200 looks like a keyboard, not a complete computer hence the old pc case on the bottom.


BTW I have a pristine WHITE Amiga 1200 case on ebay...

this seems to be attracting mainstream press as far as the list of references to the past including the Amiga and errors in it's appearance.

if they're trying to be literate for the sake of techheads it doesn't seem like they succeeded...other then finding out just how many noticed.

I listened again, and i am pretty confident she said motorola 1600 chipset and not 6800.

Glad to see Amiga is still represented
WOOT!  :devildance:

It is pretty okay.. Sure beats shows like CSI and such.

But anyways.. I have some info to add: In the xvid version i had i could also recognize some files in the shell window behind the game drawer:
I can also see a shell/cli like window behind the game folder and recognize these files:
C
Devs
Expansion
Disk.info
Expansion.info
Monitor.info

Are these 'screenshots' really captured from the 'Bones' episode?

Although I've never watched any of them, I take it that it's a CGI production and not live action?

The screenshots look remarkably like rendered images to me (could be my eyes I suppose   ;-) )

Is the series any good?  Is it on DVB or satellite?

It could be a mock, however, Amigas can natively be synchronized with teevee cameras during shooting, which was why lots and lots of computers on teevee during the 80s and 90s were done with Amigas.  In other words, it is easy and cheap to make a display using an Amiga and a CRT that will synchronize and be perfectly viewable on the show as it is being taped.

Some Amiga ports from the *nix world also could use its file structure, though it isn't common.  Well it sort of was back in the early days, from looking back at my Fred Fish (may God rest his soul!) disk collection.  But, even if it is a mockup, whoever mocked it up had Amiga experience, as in the drawers 'workbench' etc. in the screenshot, also the dir structure C, devs, etc. as mentioned earlier here.  A welcome break from the Dells and Apple Macs you see all over the show normally.  (first few seasons it was all about the Macs, then Dell came in this season.  Wife's into this show so we watch it together.)

She got the chipset names wrong, but who cares.  Angela is still super hot, and her mentioning the Amiga just makes it even more so :-D
