Commodore Amiga 500
...
Fully compatible with Amiga 500

I wonder what they meant

[-] gelert@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Possibly they meant the separately purchased monitor was compatible with base unit.

[-] taldennz@lemmy.nz 4 points 4 days ago

Likely this. Some monitors that would work on the Ami wouldn't work in all it's modes. This did. I had the 1084S which added stereo speakers I think.

This is correct. Those separate square bullet points are just for the monitor.

Isn't very clear though. So it does read like the Amiga 500 is fully compatible with the Amiga 500....

Was there a non-Commordore version?

[-] taldennz@lemmy.nz 4 points 4 days ago

There were a lot of non-Commodore monitors marketed alongside the Amiga. This isn't one of them.
