Description
The Amiga 600 was one of Commodore’s last computers, the design was similar to the 500 but with no numeric keypad. It came with AmigaOS 2 which was more user friendly than AmigaOS 1 which is what the 500 came with. Commodore also released the Amiga 600HD which was one of the first mainstream computers with an internal hard disk and was available in 20 or 40 MB, various bundles were made that included a variety of games and software. People liked the changes to the computer but did not feel they were revolutionary and the computer sold poorly in most countries except Germany where it was the second best selling Amiga, beaten only by the 500.
