Probably referring to the original amiga development platform.  Before the
A1000 came out, the development platform was on IBM-PC's with multiple
cards to bascially be an amiga in a slot (or a few).  

You can probably still find these around somewhere.  (I was told that 
the original developers platform sold for around $4000.) -kls
