- COMMODORE ANNOUNCES "POWER UP" SAVINGS
- PROGRAM FOR THE AMIGA 4000 AND 1200
-
- (West Chester, PA-----December 14, 1992) Commodore Business Machines,
- Inc. (U.S.) today announced that the company's newest and most
- technologically advanced systems, the Amiga (R) 4000 and the Amiga 1200,
- will be available at major cost-savings through its "Power Up" program.
- This offer begins January 1, 1993 and runs through March 31, 1993.
-
- The Amiga 4000-25/120 plus ASDG Art Department Professional TM and
- Electronic Arts DeluxePaint IV TM AGA will be available for an MSRP of
- $2693, a savings of $1500 (if these items are sold separately). The A4000
- was introduced in September 1992 as Commodore's premier multimedia
- computer.
-
- The Amiga 1200 plus SoftWood Inc.'s Final Copy 1.3 TM and Electronic
- Arts DeluxePaint IV AGA, will be available at an MSRP of $599, a savings
- of $600. Both the A4000 and the A1200 feature Commodore's new
- Advanced Graphics Architecture TM (AGA) chip set that enables users to
- display and animate graphics in multiple resolutions at up to 256,000
- colors from a palette of 16.8 million colors.
-
- Important to note is that the "Power Up" software programs listed with
- the A4000 and the A1200 are not packaged with the systems. Customers
- will receive these software packages within 30 days, at no additional cost,
- directly from Commodore after receipt of proof of purchase and a
- completed CPU Warranty Card. All "power-up" software offers are
- designed to support the (AGA) chip set design.
-
- The A4000 comes standard with a 120MB hard drive, 6MB of memory, a
- dual speed high-density floppy drive, and CrossDOS software which
- enables users to read and write to MS-DOS formatted floppy and hard
- drives. The A1200, the lower cost, entry level member of the AGA based
- family, is the company's newest 32-bit personal computer. Other features
- include a low-profile design, CrossDOS and PCMCIA expandability.
-
- "Since their introduction, both the A4000 and the A1200 have been widely
- publicized as the newest standard setters for video and multimedia users.
