Collection Notes
----------------

What you have here is the first set of documents from old Commodore that I 
managed to assemble. This is definitely a work in progress, and it doesn't 
progress fast. Much of the Amiga stuff was done on Amigas, but unfortunately
at different times. So I didn't necessarily still have the programs necessary
to read and convert some of this documentation to ASCII and/or the portable
document format (PDF, Adobe's Acrobat format, as close as you're likely to 
get to a universal format).

There are gaping holes in this stuff. For example, while I have a printout of
Nyx specifications (Nyx was the AAA prototype), I don't seem to have the files
anywhere. I also did a really nice paper on AAA for the 1993 DevCon, but that
hasn't turned up yet either. I have the original paper on Acutiator, and some
the drawings (in Art Expression form, but what did I do with my copy of 
Art Expression?), but I haven't yet found the PCI-level Acutiator main docs,
such as the Abaca spec, or the full description of TPUs. At one point I had
nearly every schematic, in the fairly useless Mentor format, stored away on 
disc, but I don't what happened to it.

So this is a work in progress. Anyone with material to contribute should. 
I'm sending this out, to Team Amiga, to the Jay Miner Society, in the hopes
of seeding a permanent record of the Amiga's technology, some of which has yet
to be replicated in the mainstream.
