Multiple Disk Type Capability
The Amiga 500 can use 3
1
/2
inch and 5
1
/4
inch floppy disks.
Expandability
Among the most important features
of
the Amiga 500 are its versatile expansion
capabilities, which include:
Internal Memory Expansion
The
Amiga 500 memory
is
internally expandable up to I MByte (by adding the
A501 memory expansion unit), and the operating system directly addresses it all.
This results
in
a considerable speed advantage, since the Amiga does not have to
resort to time-consuming indirect methods
of
access
in
g expanded RAM, such as
the RAM disk schemes used by almost every other microcomputer.
Addition
of
External Disk Drives
You can attach up to two external disk drives: another
3112"
drive and one
51f4"
drive.
MIDI Interface
Equipped with an optional
MIDI
interface, the Amiga 500 allows you to connect
and control a wide variety
of
sophisticated computer-compatible mus
ic
compo-
nents, like synthesizers and drum machines. By coupling these
MIDI
capabilities
with the
Amiga'
s extremely flexible built-in multi voice stereo sound generation
capabilities, you have at your disposal a state-of-the-art digital music and sound
system.
