The Amiga 500 Plus was a newer version of the Amiga 500 home computer .
He is twice as much memory (1MB) and the newer Enhanced Chip Set (ECS) instead of the original chip set equipped (OCS), the first VGA - Monitors could drive. The Amiga 500 Plus was delivered with Kickstart Version 2.04 from the start . This operating system was a big step forward technically, but had the disadvantage that many previous programs no longer worked if or because they directly - disregarding the API - accessed kickstart routines whose structure had now changed. Games were particularly affected here. Hardware extensions that made it possible to switch between Kickstart 1.3 and 2.0 were therefore very soon on the market. The Amiga 500 Plus found a less successful continuation in the Amiga 600 .
