COMMODORE UNVEILS LOW-COST AMIGA
(Nov. 18)
Commodore Business Machines Inc. has unveiled a new low- cost Amiga.
The Amiga 1200 incorporates Commodore's 32-bit Advanced Graphics
Architecture (AGA) and comes with a 3.5-inch floppy drive, 2MB of RAM and
an internal IDE interface.
A base Amiga 1200 has a suggested retail price of $699.
"The high performance Amiga 1200 featuring AGA, CrossDOS, PCMCIA
expandability, an entry level price point and compact design is a great
choice as a home computer," said James Dionne, Commodore's president and
general manager. "These powerful features also make it an ideal portable
presentation or training delivery system for the professional user. The
A1200 is another step forward for Commodore as we continue to pursue a
greater share of the home and professional multimedia markets."

And on the same day, my company (MicroBotics) announced the first Amiga
1200-specific hardware peripheral, the MBX 1200 –FPU and FastRAM
capability. You can read more about it in the MicroBotics section of the
Amigavendor forum. And I will be happy to answer questions about same. BTW:
Commodore had two MBX 1200's running at COMDEX this past week. –Redmond
