This is my Commodore Amiga 3000. I used this computer for many years, example: for my BBS “Hidden Power“, coding Amiga / Snes Demos & Trainer and other fun stuff.

I decided to pull out of the box and try if still works, i must say that everything works like 15 years ago (including the Harddisk).

Description:

• Commodore Amiga 3000 rev B2.
• MultiFaceCard III (multi Serial Ports)
• GVP Card with 8 Mb of Fast Memory installed.
• Removed the original Battery.

from Wikipedia:

Released in June 1990, The Commodore Amiga  3000 was the third major release in the Amiga computer family. It revealed a much more focused and sincere attempt to build a high-end professional multimedia computer, boasting improved processing speed, better rendering of graphics, and a revision of the increasingly haggard operating system.

Its predecessors, the Amiga 500,1000 and 2000, shared the same fundamental system architecture and consequently performed without considerable variance in processing speed despite considerable variance in purchase price. The A3000 however, was entirely reworked and rethought as a genuine high-end workstation.

The new Motorola 32-bit 68030 CPU, 68882 math co-processor, and 32-bit system memory helped increase the “integer” processing speed by a factor of 5 to 18, and the “floating point” processing speed by a factor of 7 to 200 times. The new 32-bit Zorro III expansion slots provided for faster and more powerful expansion capabilities.

The IDE-fix adapter doubles the internal IDE port of your A1200. At the same time it’s an adapter from the rather uncommon 2.5 inch standard to the less expensive 3.5 inch standard connections. The first of the two IDE outputs is available as 3.5 inch and 2.5 inch connector, to you can use existing cables.

The IDE-fix adapter is buffered and terminated. That means that your Amiga is shielded from noise that is caused by long cables, so it continues working reliably without crashing.

IDE-fix 97 Key features:

• use cheap Atapi CD-Rom drives.
• use removable IDE/Atapi devices (Syquest, IDE-ZIP, LS120).
• supports TD64-commands – harddisk capacities larger than 4 GBytes possible!
• IDE harddisk autopark.
• Atapi CD-changers (NEC, Sanyo, Torisan) are perfectly supported (CD-change can be done either by a program, or by a separate icon for each inserted CD).
• Cache CD filesystem included!
• CD32 emulator included!

During the 80s, it was common use to build computers in a way that they can output their picture on a TV set. This was done in order to reduce the overall system cost for the user. TV sets work with lower frequencies compared to today’s monitors, therefore the picture flickers.

A flickerfixer (aka de-interlacer) converts the signal in a way that a modern VGA monitor or TFT-display can be used. The name flickerfixer was mainly created because the problem of a flickering picture is solved. Individual Computers already had a very successful product called Indivision in 2002. It was connected to the monitor output of the computer, but it has been sold out since 2006.

Indivision AGA’s most notable features are:

• 24 Bit colour resolution in all screenmodes.
• support for super hires modes.
• Highgfx support up to 1024×768 pixels.
• all screenmodes can be displayed at 60 Hz or more.
• no adjustments necessary.

from Wikipedia:

The Amiga CD32, styled “CD³²“, was the first 32-bit CD-ROM based video game console released in western Europe and Canada. It was first announced at the Science Museum in London, United Kingdom on 16 July 1993, and was released in September of the same year.

The CD32 is based on Commodore’s Advanced Graphics Architecture chipset, and is of similar specification to the Amiga 1200 computer. Using 3rd-party devices, it is possible to upgrade the CD32 with keyboard, floppy drive, hard drive and mouse, turning it into a personal computer.

The Amiga 600, also known as the A600 (codenamed “June Bug” after a B-52’s song), was a home computer introduced at the CeBIT show in March 1992. The A600 was the final model of the original A500-esque line based around the Motorola 68000 CPU and the ECS chipset.

A notable aspect of the A600 was its small size. Lacking a numeric keypad, the A600 was 14″ long by 9.5″ deep by 3″ high and weighed approximately 6 pounds. AmigaOS 2.0 was included which was generally considered more user-friendly than AmigaOS 1.3.

The Amiga 500, also known as the A500, was the first “low-end” Commodore Amiga 16/32-bit multimedia home/personal computer. It was announced at the winter Consumer Electronics Show in January 1987, at the same time as the high-end Amiga 2000, and competed directly against the Atari 520ST. The A500 was released in mid 1987 at the price of 595.95 USD without monitor.

from Wikipedia:

The Amiga 1200, or A1200, was Commodore International’s third-generation Amiga computer, aimed at the home market. It was launched in October 21, 1992, at a base price of £399 in the United Kingdom and $599 in the United States. Initially, only 30,000 A1200s were available at the UK launch.^[1]

Like its predecessor, the Amiga 500, the A1200 is an all-in-one design incorporating the CPU, keyboard, and disk drives (including, unlike the A500, the option of an internal hard disk drive) in one physical unit. The machine was designed to be able to house a 2.5inch HDD internally, but it was possible to mount a 3.5inch HDD inside the 1200 if a little brute force was used.
