A3000

The A3000, also known as the Commodore Amiga 3000, was a much more serious proposition to build a professional multimedia computer than the previous A2000 effort.

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

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

One could increase the amount 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.

The A3000 designation was also used on an Acorn Archimedes model.
