To Framiga:
In the first manual page was written: "The new A3000 . . .a cheap alternative to the A2500 system".
Sound strange to me that a machine with in-built SCSI, newer design and higher performances, was sold as "cheap alternative".
That is because the Amiga 2500 is actually a much higher quality, better built machine then the Amiga 3000. After the release of the Amiga 2000 Series, Commodore lowered the quality on all Amigas beginning with the Amiga 3000. The awesome Amiga 2000 is the Flagship Amiga computer because of its durability and expandability. As more and more people are realizing just how nice the Amiga 2000 system really is, it is now once again gaining in popularity. I have noticed that people are selling their Amiga 600s, 1200s, and 3000s on eBay and then those same people are turning around and buying an Amiga 2000HD or 2500. The first run Amiga 2000 computers were so nice, in fact, that they even came from the factory with a military spec 68000 processor, military spec custom chips and 2 military spec 8520 ICs. The first run Amiga 2000 keyboards had Cherry keyswitches that were made in Italy and the power supplies were made in Japan. The first run Amiga 2000s also had the higher quality 4-layer motherboards. The revision 6.x motherboards are the lower quality 2-layer boards. The expansion slots on the Amiga 2000 are on the motherboard, just like todays PCs. This is a much better design then having those slots on a daughter-board plugged into the motherboard (like on the Amiga 3000 and 4000 computers). Framiga, have you ever actually looked inside an Amiga 2000, to see how it was built? It is really a very nicely made machine, built like a German Tiger Tank ! :-D
