This is a great series. I can also really recommend the book the author wrote, which presents a more technical view of the Amiga: https://mitpress.mit.edu/book

- rsync 12y agoYes, the whole "platform series" from MIT press is fantastic. The first book in the series "racing the beam", especially so.
- carlesfe 12y agoAre they complementary? As in, is it worth to read the book after reading the blogposts, or do they tell the same story?
- niklasni1 12y agoYes, very much so. The book contains some quite technical walkthroughs of the Amiga, both software and hardware. In enough detail that a technical person will be able to understand more or less exactly what's going on, but without requiring any knowledge about the Amiga.
- mwcampbell 12y agoConversely, the blog posts tell the story of the Amiga's origin in more detail than the book. So they do complement each other.
- carlesfe 12y agoThank you both. I'll definitely have a look at it, I'm fascinated by computer history.
