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 firstA2000 hardware developed" would be more appropriate.


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...

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.

That is 84 percent.

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... :)

Average Amiga knowledge !


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! ;-)

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:
