The Amiga was basically a grown up Atari. The first "graphics accelerator"
for consumer use was in the Atari 400/800 as far as I know. There were
other graphics processors before Atari, namely those used by Computervision
and Aplicon. I do not believe the Apple II had a graphics accelerator at
that time...it was purely memory mapped display memory...
