The Commodore A1060 Sidecar is an expansion hardware device developed by Commodore and released in 1986 for the Amiga 1000 computer. It features a complete PC XT-clone system mounted in an expansion case which connected to the expansion bus on the right side of the Amiga 1000 computer, sitting beside it similar to a motorcycle's sidecar, hence the name. The PC side of the Sidecar was built around an Intel 8088 processor. All I/O procedures from the PC side are performed by the Amiga. Software was included to allow data to be exchanged easily between the PC and the Amiga side of the system. The Sidecar was available with an internal hard disk which was accessible from both the MS-DOS and AmigaOS environments. This was the first hard drive produced by Commodore for the Amiga. Video display and user input were performed through the Amiga's monitor, keyboard, and mouse. This allows the user to control both computers simultaneously. == Characteristics == The Amiga Sidecar was a complete IBM PC XT system, with the exception of I/O devices and operations which are handled by the Amiga. * Processor: Intel 8088 clocked at 4.77 MHz * RAM: 256 kB (expandable to 512 kB + 80 kB Dual Bus Memory) * Graphics Emulation: Dependent on Amiga settings. (Can use real 8-bit ISA graphics cards) * Sound Emulation: Dependent on Amiga settings. (can use real 8-bit ISA sound cards) * One internal 5.25" drive bay normally fitted with a 360K 5.25" floppy drive * 3 x 8-bit ISA slots for using real PC cards * Amiga 1000 Expansion Bus connector (for Amiga connectivity) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amiga Sidecar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
