Memory: programs are stored temporarily in memory, or RAM while they are running. Additional memory is needed for more complex programs. Memory is erased every time the Amiga is reset or powered down.
Real Time Clock (RTC): the Real Time Clock stores and updates the current time and date even when the Amiga is powered down due to it being self-powered by a small battery. The Amiga time and date stamps files when they are created or updated.
Floating Point Unit (FPU): a special co-processor that can calculate floating point mathematics, taking the burden off main Central Processing Unit (CPU). Useful for 3D graphics rendering applications.
Trapdoor Slot: If you turn over an Amiga 1200 you will see a plastic door (the "trapdoor") on the underside. Using a small coin to lever it open which will reveal an expansion slot. Memory expansions can be plugged in here, increasing the amount of RAM your Amiga can have available.
