A3000

Also known as Amiga 3000 this computer was a much more serious proposition than the previous A500 and A2000 efforts.

The Amiga 3000 came in a desktop box with a separate keyboard. It was bundled with:

a Motorola 68030 processor.
a 68881[?] or 68882[?] FPU.
the ECS chipset.
a SCSI interface.
a built-in 'flicker fixer' which enabled the use of a VGA monitor.

One could increase the amound of Fast RAM by adding ZIP DRAM chips.

Other models included the A3000UX bundled with UNIX System V Release 4, and the A3000T tower computer.
