This is all hardware isn't it...?


I've summarized the following info from a local BBS and seems fairly reliable.
Further comments or info would be appreciated.



                     A3000 DEBUTS IN PARIS!!!!!!!!!

             * 68030 16 or 25Mhz on the Motherboard (asynchronous)!
             * 32 bit bus for memory and I/O (backward compatible with ZorroII)
             * 50 Mb hard drive (don't know if SCSI)  
             * 2 megs Chip Ram!
             * Flicker-Fixer included
             * 1.4 ECS giving virtual screen 1280 x 485 pixels w/wo interlace.
             * Smaller nicer case with PC slots and 4 Amiga expansion slots.
             * Power switch on front, keyboard connector on side.
             * Price unknown :-( !

I'm a little disappointed that newer graphic modes were not introduced but
feel the 32 bit bus plus asynchronous 68030 will make this one quick machine!

The BBS I got this from is JDR-BBS located in San Jose, Ca (408) 559-0253
