This 1985 Amiga 1000, donated by Don Berritt of Portsmouth, RI was Commodore's flagship machine. The Amiga was developed by Jay Miner and his team during 1982-1984, and was purchased by Commodore, and retained as a separate division. Introduced in July, 1985 by Debby Harry and Andy Warhol, the first 1000's shipped only two months later.
In the summer of 1985, Warhol was given his first Amiga 1000 home computer by Commodore International and enthusiastically signed on with the company as a brand ambassador.
