If you ever used an Amiga after it’s commodore demise, you would most likely have heard of www.amiga-hardware.com, and even visited a few times. Those who did a bit more with their machines apart from playing a casual game, would have bookmarked it forever. If you’ve never heard of it, it listed almost every piece of hardware related to the Amiga.
