2000 Standard Specifications



I collect Amiga technical pages that I find useful and think others can make use of. These specs have been compiled from several sources, as well as my perersonal experiences. I have left the world of the A2000 behind in favor of a much more expandable A1200. I am just waiting for the Amiga One to fully be released with Amiga OS4. As of this writing, the Amiga One hardware is out to be bought, but until I see the OS.. I will remain skeptical. I have my money in hand to buy it, but still skeptical.

If you see any of my info that is incorrect, please let me know so that I can correct it.
