Jeff Frank
Engineering and Manufacturing Amiga, Amiga Technologies GmbH

Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen. My name is Jeff Frank and I have been retained by Amiga
Technologies GmbH to provide technical assistance with respect to Engineering and Manufacturing
Amiga related products. Previously, I have been with Commodore International Ltd. for nearly nine
years, primarily as Director of Engineering.
I am sure you are all as happy as I to hear that the "Amiga" is indeed alive and well!
Initially, most of our labors will be focused on resuming production of the A4000 Tower and A1200 class
products. In fact, the A4000 Tower will be much like a new product introduction, considering that
Commodore only ever built 1000 units. The A4000 Tower and A1200 will feature the AmigaDOS 3.1
Operating System which was not in wide release prior to Commodore's demise. We will also pursue both
tactical and strategic enhancements to the Amiga product line over the months and years to come.
Tactically, our first and perhaps the most obvious enhancement will be a 68060 processor upgrade to the
A4000 Tower. We also believe that a performance upgrade to the A1200 by moving from an EC020 to an
EC030 processor as well as built-in support for fast RAM capability is a logical step.
Strategically, we are looking into creating "Encapsulated Amiga Environments" or Emulations for the
IBM and Apple environments. Also, potential ports of AmigaDOS to non-Amiga platforms will be
assessed. We feel that this is a way we may help the Amiga Technology to permeate other Computing
Environments. We will also consider merging architectures of available RISC technologies and the Amiga
technology.
