After more than four years of trying to gather bits together, I have started a video series showing the viability #CommodoreAmiga as a workstation.
This set of videos are placed in the historical context of the Amiga roughly a year after launch, in the summer of 1986, eventually comparing context to other workstations of the time.
In this video, we show initial first impressions of capabilities using a base system and viewing the demonstration programs, while providing context on how each demonstration program worked.
The system at this point is an Amiga 1000, with 256K expansion, and two disk drives.
Since workstations were used primarily for scientific and engineering tasks, with the expectation of developing custom software for a given task, this is what the series will ultimately focus on.
