Well.... It is not that hard, to get an overview of the various models. I mean.... The various original models.
Commodore did not really produce that many as a whole. A couple of consoles (well... one of them a multimedia machine)
Then they produced around 4 of those computer in a keyboard models (500, 500+, 600 and 1200) and they produced
around 6 big box models (1000, 2000, 3000, 3000-Tower, 4000 and 4000-tower).
Actually a pretty nice achievement, when taking in account, that they bought Amiga in 1985 and the last Amiga's were
invented and ready for sale in 1992. That is like some 12 machines included 2 chipset upgrades in less than 7 years.

There were like 3 different main architectures, originally released from Commodore. OCS, ECS and AGA.
Everything else is prototypes on various stages of functionality.

Read everything under commodore machines, on "Big-Book-Of-Amiga-Hardware", and you will have a solid ground for learning more.

Big source, that great "Big-Book-of-Amiga-Hardware", thanks friend. I know, that It is not that hard to get an overview of the various Amiga models, but the real complexity regard all the technical different data of each model, inherent different many BUS, sockets, expansions - and, WOW, Amiga machines are expandable in thousands of ways, this is one the things that make those platforms special - so ahead of their time, I think.

Last is gunfire.

ShapeShifter runs just fine with the Furia:

This is fantastic, thanks for sharing, derSammler - it's such a pleasure, to admire your splendid collection. I didn't know about that Apple emulation in Amiga environment.
