There's also one for the Amiga 500: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BbVAvDbzXFk https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BbVAvDbzXFk

  A real eyeopener. Too bad Amiga was mismanaged from the word go, and that the less than upgradeable 500 was the face of the platform, as it was really ahead of its time in terms of internal design. But over time the more upgradeable, and cloned to hell and back, IBM PC won out. In particular once the chipsets gained DMA and new expansion buses.

    I agree that Amiga was mismanaged from the word go, that was the main issue IMO (they waited far too long before pushing for an upgraded chipset, and they should never have forced the Amiga team to relocate, causing most/all of the original team to leave). As for expandability, whilst the A500 wasn't as expandable as the A2000, I'd say it was expandable in the ways most users would care about. For example, this expansion allowed users to add a faster CPU (and an FPU), add more RAM and add a hard drive: http://amiga.resource.cx/exp/gvp530 http://amiga.resource.cx/exp/gvp530
