I used the black PS2 manuals too. But, more importantly, the Amiga Rom Kernel Reference Manuals were what I really cut my teeth on. And I see them in your photo! I think I had the blue ones - wish I knew what I did with them.

The Amiga was such a fun platform to explore and code on. I had such a ball playing with the bitplane addresses, using the bitplane modulos for effects, the blitter to draw things everywhere and building rainbow coppers of course! :) The platform had the best demos on it and some amazing music.
Playing with the Amiga and learning how to use copper lists, the co-processors, synchronization and DMA to do anything interesting, I found the concepts on the PS2—like the VUs, the GS, DMA lists, scratch-pad RAM, and bus access issues re. DMA, the EE, GS and VUs—to be relatively straightforward.
