- Hi
-
- From AMIGA Techno's WEB page!
-
- Announcement
-
-
-
- AMIGA Technologies GmbH with ESCOM at the CeBIT 96
-
-
- Amiga Surfer, new AMIGA Prototype, Information about the PowerPC Project
-
- For the first time in over two years, AMIGA computers will be presented again
- officially by the manufacturer at the largest computer fair in the world:
- The CeBIT. From 14th to 20th of March, AMIGA Technologies GmbH will be
- represented on the ESCOM booth in hall 11 with new products.
- AMIGA computers will also be seen on the Microvitec and Motorola booths.
-
- The AMIGA-Surfer, a complete Internet computer with software, modem,
- connection and free hours is now available at a price of 1199 DM. The
- Surfer can be connected to a TV set or to a standard VGA monitor. The solution
- is based on the AMIGA 1200 with a 260 MB harddrive, 2 MB of
- RAM and a 14,400 bps modem. Thanks to its resource-saving features, the highly
- optimized AMIGA-OS makes cost-effective solutions like the
- Surfer possible. Also the excellent multitasking abilities of its OS makes the
- AMIGA the ideal multimedia and Internet machine.
-
- A prototype of the new AMIGA will be shown for the first time worldwide at the
- CeBIT fair in Hannover, Germany. AMIGA Technologies GmbH will
- hereby expand the AMIGA product line for the advanced home user and the semi-
- professional market. Modularity, futuristic design and expansion
- capability are the main edges of the new product.
-
- The motherboard features two SIMM sockets, on which the memory can be
- increased up to 128 MB. The main processor used will be the 680EC30 /
- 40 MHz. This combination allows a product at a tight price with a good
- computing power. With the available flexible expansion bus, turbo cards with
- processors like the 68060 or the PowerPC will be easily installable.
-
- This expansion bus can also be used with graphics cards, multi-serial cards,
- MPEG cards etc. The modular concept makes the addition of further
- slots possible, so that the user can define how many expansion slots he will
- have in his machine. This way, the basic machine can be turned into a
- tower. This design concept will be the base of the coming AMIGA Generation.
-
- The new AMIGA will be shipped with a revisited version 3.2 of the AMIGA-OS.
- New features and many enhancements will give the system more
- power and flexibility.
-
- The PowerPC project is also moving forward. Thanks to the close cooperation
- with Motorola and Phase 5, the porting of the AMIGA-OS will be
- achieved within the announced schedule. The first Power AMIGA will be
- available early in 1997, as planned. Until then, it is also foreseeable that
- Phase 5 will release the first PowerPC cards for existing AMIGAs. The
- development of the OS is led by former top AMIGA engineers.
