at least his ideas seems less far fetched than a stadium in seattle and a brand new Amiga architecture but it's funny the same thing keeps happening

I also like the Brian Bagnall books (beware: There are two multi-volume editions, the second edition is far larger which is good/bad depending on how interested you are) but they are much more for those already interested in Commodore, though "Commodore: The Amiga Years" on its own is worthwhile for people interested specifically in the Amiga.

Maher's The Future Was Here is much more accessible to people who has want a lighter read and/or don't have a personal relationship to the Amiga and Commodore, though.

You'd add the sidecar, add an MFM controller, MFM drive, and you could use it from the Amiga.

You had to boot off floppy for kickstart, and another to get access to the sidecar, but just awesome it was.

I don't recal the name.

Sachs was of course also immensely popular, and did enough work that I have no doubt more Amiga users saw his pictures.

Here's a page with a lot more of his pictures[2], including the color cycling effect. (There's also a fantastic comparison far down that page of a sharp version vs. a VHS recording that shows just how much color bleed we had to deal with, and how it affected the art.
