#New 4000s/4000T
4 messages in this thread
"From Raymond Prachun, Amiga Marketing Manager for CBM Canada, at a
local user's group meeting on Feb. 20, 1994:
The A4000/030 is being redesigned without the EC030 daughterboard
(i.e. it's going on the main board). This will _reduce_ the cost.
Otherwise it's the same machine. (A full 030 version was mentioned,
too.)
The A4000/040 will still have a daughterboard; an EC040 version is
coming. It will _not_ replace the full 040 machine.
The A4000T will be released _in Canada_ on March 5. It has 2 video
slots, SCSI and IDE on the motherboard, and a SCSI hard drive.
Dates and specs are for Canada ONLY; other countries may vary."
As reported by Peter Edward Janes
I suggest that this marketing manager should visit West Chester or
the production facilities before saying that something will be
available in a week. 😉
It's good to here that the 4000T is closer to reality. I have been holding off
on upgrading from my 2000 for a year now.
Steve,
I think Raymond was wrong on one things — the EC040 version coming.
According to Dave Haynie, the MMU is needed on the 040 for Zorro III to
work properly. So it's more likely an LC040, which has an MMU but no FPU;
I've heard this rumored before.
