From a good source... - 68030/881 @ 16 MHz or 68030/822 @ 25 Mhz - Amiga Enhanced Chip Set - 1 Meg Chip RAM expandable to 2 Meg on board - 1 Meg Fast RAM expandable to 4 Meg on board - Built in Display Enhancer - Internal SCSI Hard Drive (50 Mbyte planned) - Internal Real Time Clock w/RAM - 4 new Zorro III expansion slots; Each is downward compatible w/ Zorro II cards: 1 100 pin only slot 2 100 pin slots w/ AT style extensions 1 100 pin slot in-line w/ an A2000 style video slot - 1 CPU expansion connector 200 pins w/ processor takeover capability Can support advanced processors/RISC/CACHE's etc. - External expansion connectors: 23 pin Amiga video (15.75 Khz typical) 15 pin VGA style video (31.5 Khz typical) External SCSI connector External Floppy/Serial/Printer/Audio/Keyboard/Joysticks - 32 bit access to on board ROM - 32 bit CPU access to chip RAM - 32 bit fast RAM support Custom Controller supporting static column mode DRAMs and allowing CPU bursts access to RAM - 32 bit DMA based onboard SCSI controller - Low-profile case supporting total of 3 internal 3.5" drives - Front mounted power switch - Easier access to Joystick/Keyboard connectors - Improved visual design - Easy disk-drive installation and removal (Floppy and Hard) - Hardware and software support for 60 Hz video on European machines Will cost less than a comparably equipped A2500 because of the use of the three custom Amiga chips and five custom gate arrays. New ECS version of Denise and Agnus will address 2 Mbytes. New display modes including 31 Khs productivity mode and 1280 pixel wide SuperHires. Fat Gary, Fat Buster. Built-in display enhancer. Deinterlaces interlaced 15 Khs video to provide a non-interlaced 31 Khz display. Can be used w/ VGA multisync. Works w/ genlocks. Automatically double scans non-interlaced displays. May be bypassed entirely for using LCD shutter glasses. V1.4 of the system software will allow changing Workbench resolution on the fly etc. etc. etc.. Zorro III cards will have a multi-gigabyte address space etc. etc. etc. ________________________________________________ <>___, / / | ... and he called out and said, "Gabriel, give | /___/ __ / _ __ ' _ / | this man an understanding of the vision." | /\__/\(_/\/__)\/ (_/_(/_/|_ |_______________________________________Dan_8:16_|
