The Amico (literally, friend) is a family of personal computers introduced by Elaboratori Generale in 1984. The original model was one of a number of 16/32- and 32-bit computers that featured 256 KB or more of RAM, mouse-based GUIs, and significantly improved graphics and audio over 8-bit systems.
The Amico 100 was launched in late 1984, but production problems and a national shortage of computer chips prevented it from becoming widely accessible until mid 1986. The best selling model, the Amico 500, was launched in 1988 (along with the professionally-oriented Amico 200) and it quickly became a leading figure in the Salisfordian home computer market.
