| Rumours about a super-computer, with the codename Lorraine
(the first Amiga, named for the HiToro president's wife) were travelling
across the USA. 1983 was the year that all the custom chips were built.
RJ Mical (the coder of the intution) wanted a cheap games machine, but
the others wanted the best computer.
Jay Miner was dreaming about a machine like the Amiga 2000, one with lot
of expansion slots. Jay Miner cooperated with Ron Nicholson who
gave the idea of the blitter. HAM was Jay Miner's
idea after a visit to some flight simulators (there was a chance to leave
HAM option outside of the first Amiga). $7,000,000 had already been spent
on the Amiga project.
