Ah-HA!  I found the reference (pg 58 of the AmigaWorld Premiere
Issue):

"Riker [EA's Greg Riker, Manager of Technology] credits much of their
progress to the development of something he calls an "artist's
workstation", a combination of hardware, software and peripherals that
allows the programmer to develop Amiga software on an IBM PC or 
compatible.

"There are several versions of the EA workstation.  The basic unit is
an IBM PC with a hard disk, 640K of RAM, a proprietary plug-in card,
special software, a graphics card and a high-resolution monitor. 
According to Riker, the systems are worth between $4000 and $9000.

PS: Ads from that issue: how many of these products have you seen?
Tecmar: TModem (300/1200 baud) TDisk (20Mb) TTape (Tape Backup) and
        TCard (1Mb RAM).  I believe that the TCard and TDisk were
        actually shipped for a short time before Tecmar quit the
        Amiga market.
Mindscape: Keyboard Kadet and The Halley Project
Electronic Arts: Lots of stuff that eventually became products
                 (although Return to Atlantis took quite a while).
Tardis Software: MaxiCalc, MaxiWord, MaxiGraph, MaxiTerm, MaxiNet,
                 MaxiShare, and Maximillian.
