Amiga Development System and Sage IV - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

23 Jun 2008

...
   I was recently
contacted by a software developer that had an old Sage IV
 computer that needed a new home.  He found me through my Sage and Stride
 website (http://www.sageandstride.org).  He used the Sage IV in the 1980's
 as part of an Amiga Development System. 
Was it like this unit?

Yes, it's the same Sage IV model.  I'm familiar with 'Agony'.  I met Dale
Luck last year and he let me get my grubby hands on Agony to help revive it (still
ongoing...).  I've added pictures of the Sage IV I just received to the group of
photos of the Amiga Development System at:

The Sage IV pictures are the last in the batch.

...
 This is the one Dale Luck exhibited and was christened,
in typical Amiga
humor, as "Agony." The rest of the developer prototype photos I have are

They look slightly different than yours, which seems to be a later version?

  From the docs and what I've learned by
talking to other early Amiga
 developers, the Sage IV was used in developing a lot of the early Amiga
 code. 
This is also my understanding.
