Hi I'm somewhat surprised that no one have commented on the rumours in ``POPULAR COMPUTING WEEKLY'' Dec. 10-16 '87 on the new Amiga computers. According to the magazine "C= is to launch a new range of Amiga computers next (this) year". A quick overview: - "A500 will be upgraded to 1Mb", this ``new'' machine will be unveiled at the West German Hanover Fair, March 16-23. - The A2000 will be upgraded to an A2010, with the following highlights: * The processor speed will be 14Mhz, still a 68000. * "A new blitter chip capable of addressing 4Mb of video RAM" with "improved screen resolution" and "a maximum colour palette of 256 out of a total of over 6M colours". The 6M colours sound stange, maybe 16M. * "A new Denise chip as well, but no details". * "A new version of the boot-up system Kickstart 1.3". And finally a new A3000 is mentioned, highlights are: - "28MHz 68030". - "a new 19 inch colour monitor". Prices are only mentioned for the A3000, $3000. Accoring to the magazine the A3000 could be delayed a year, due to shortage of the 68030 chip. PS: if all this is ancient history I apologize to have wasted your time. In Denmark we speak Danish, this might explain an error or two. end.
