Window manager? It handles windows in hardware?
Because that doesn't
sound like something available on bare metal to me...

No ofcourse it does not :)
And the Amiga doesnt have chunky graphics (ie, bitmap, '1 byte is a
pixel') so you will still need to implement a framebuffer on top of
the planar graphics, not that hard, but fairly serious work.
And yeah, there is serial which is driven by the CIA chips.
Another thing to mind is that most Amiga's came with CPU's with no
PMMU, many 68030 boards came with EC030's as a MMU was not used by
AmigaOS (only some 3rd party software used it for debugging
purposes).
