High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Amiga Ranger was a prototype computer that was supposed to be the second generation Amiga chipset prior to ECS. It was designed by the original Los Gatos Amiga team including Jay Miner. However Commodore International didn't release this chipset due to its high cost. After the release of the A1000, Jay Miner intended to design a true successor to it. It was planned to be highly expandable like A2000 with better graphics and CPU, this machine was code named Amiga Ranger and its design began circa 1986-1987. The Ranger may have included a 68010 or 68020 CPU. The possible release date could have been 1988-1989.Information for this new chipset remains sketchy. However, the sound system may have still been the same as the Original chipset. According to RJ Mical, the new chipset kept the original 13 bit DAC for its CLUT but with quadrupled color registers from 32 to 128. The color palette would have remained at 4096 colours but the resolution could go up to 1024x1024 with 128 colors (7 bit color depth), additionally the chipset can address up to 2 MB of Chip RAM space.
