Amiga Walker

[Holley]

There were 2 or 3 made, one member here owns one of them, and has coaxed it into booting.  The prototypes were never near production stage though ...

As for ugly, it's been proved that designs that polarise opinion (ie. love/hate) far outsell middle of the road stuff - personally I like it, just 'cause it's different!

Yeah, then they threw it out the window and released the Aztec :lol:

Yeah, and even with the underwhelming spec it'd have been a big jump from the A1200!  (PCI socket, '030, updated Rom etc)

Had they hit production it'd have been a snap to bung it in another case.  Of course many would have customised the case too, which would have been neat, certainly up on the iMac for individuality ...

I've still got the Amiga Format edition that looks forward to the Walker and the new OS (so gullable looking back, that was in '96!).  Then there's a French '060 m/board in about 2000 - that looked promising as it was in proper production.  And of course there's the BoXer, '040 A1200 on a PCI card, numerous G3 accellerators (AmiJoe? etc), and the original A1.
