Encyclopedia > Extended chip set

ECS is an acronym for Enhanced Chip Set.


ECS is the name used for the enhanced version of the Amiga computer's original chipset (OCS). ECS was introduced in 1990 debuting in the Amiga 3000. Amigas produced from 1990 onwards featured a mix of OCS and ECS chips, or even a full Enhanced Chipset. In 1991 ECS was officially introduced to the low end Amigas with the introduction of the A500 Plus. The last Amiga to use ECS was the Amiga 600.


ECS included the improved Super Agnus (with support for 2 MB of CHIP RAM) and Super Denise chips. Other additional features include:

  • Support for Productivity (640x480 noninterlaced) and SuperHires (1280x200 or 1280x256) display modes, which were however limited to only 4 colors.
  • Ability of the blitter to copy regions larger than 1024x1024 pixels in one operation.
  • Ability to display sprites in border regions (outside of any display window where bitplanes are shown).

It was followed by the AGA chipset.

911Chips.com - Dyno Runs (2690 words)
The two runs compare the stock chip in red vs. a 911Chips performance chip in blue mated with a Dansk premuffler in place of the cat.
Swapping the stock chip with a standard 911Chips performance chip for the stock configuration and 91 octane has increased the peak hp to 233.9 crank hp, and 226.4 ft-lbs of torque, a net gain of 15 hp and 14 ft-lbs of torque as shown by the green power curves below.
A custom chip was then developed for the client from this data, from which the fuel mixtures were corrected to the optimum power point along with program optimization for 98 European RON octane fuel.
