The other machine we had in the worked was Joe Augenbraun's Amiga 1000+. This was probably the machine that would have really boosted the Amiga's profile. It sat squarely between the A500/A1200 and the A3000/A4000... detached keyboard, two Zorro slots, a new CPU socket, etc. The intent was to ship at around $800 in 1992, with AA chips and a 25MHz CPU (probably an EC020 or EC030, but still).
I have some questions :
- Is the 1000+ is planned with an harddrive as standard ?
- How many chip RAM and fast RAM would have been included as standard ?
- Is the 1000+ included an AT&T 3210 DSP ?
If i understand correctly, it don't have a DSP. I think that would have been a mistake. If the 3000+ have a DSP and the 1000+ not, the DSP would not have been used by common softwares and, of course, by games.
- how many a 1000+ with a DSP would have cost ? 1000 $ or more ? Maybe a 25 mhz DSP, not a 50 mhz.
- A CPU socket ? Is it mean the cpu would have been on a daughter board ?
