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.

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

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?

The English versions only have 94 keys.


Nonetheless, a very nice quiz.  :-D
