Not a single technical improvement, hardly any non cost reduction difference between them. Would be like arguing breadbin vs C64c are different computers so cant call C64c 1982 tech.
- erickhill 1y agoThe A500 came with a Kickstart ROM. The A1K required a floppy disk. The 500 could also use a 1MB Agnus chip and one could easily update trapdoor RAM. It wasn't light-years advanced over the A1K but it was a good step in the right direction and vastly more affordable. Hence why it was the best-selling Amiga and the A1K "did OK" but didn't set any sales records. "Not a single technical improvement" is ridiculous.
- icedchai 1y agoYes, the A500's main "innovation" was cost reduction.
