Actually it's a  little less, I once calculated 1818MB based on some address-map found in a book about the A3000.

That number inludes 2MB chip and 8MB Z2, but not the "Slow"-mem found in A500/2000 (I think there's space for an additional 1.3MB).
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

How many Macs from 1992 actually had anything close to 2GB ? Remember that at that times RAM-modules over 8MB were considered exotic ...


The problem is that there has never been new Amigas (in the real sense of the word) since 92.
