I remember the lab in my workplace actually had a tester that ran on Amiga.

Huh, Amiga already got built in graphic card, the AGA chipset was the best at its time.

That's not an Amiga, that is just commodore pc clone 😁

Yes, they also made IBM pc clone, the Amiga uses motorola 68000 processor, not Intel cpu

Yep, there is no such thing as a monochrome Amiga. What Cincai saw was a PC clone by Commodore, or possibly an ancient Commodore PET which is even older than me (aka c64).

There is no such thing as adding graphic card to an Amiga. It all use in house customised chip by the designer (Rest his soul - Jay Glenn Miner) and his team. Else how to achieve all those technological feat.
