Whats so special with Motorola microprocessors?
The Amiga uses microprocessors of the 680×0 family by Motorola, where the x stands for the ciphers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 6 currently. Already the first member of this family is internally structured with 32-bit width, though it appears more as a 16-bit type externally. This processor family is especially flexible to program and offers the programmer many possibilities to optimize his software. Key words for the expert are “flat memory model without limiting segmentation”, a big number of internal, really general-purpose registers, and a “nearly orthogonal command set”. • What is a Graphical User Interface (GUI) With the graphics on the screen, a normal, but of course abstracted bureau environment is displayed where e.g. files are kept in drawers.
