The Best Amiga Computer Is An A3000?

 Plus it have IDE and SCSI.

The A3000T has no IDE.

Imho the best machine is an A3000+ (A3k with AGA+DSP, could use more slots though) or an A4000T (the only thing it misses is a flicker fixer).

Did you know the A3000+ didn't have a scandoubler either?

Duh! You're absolutely right - never noticed that.

Then it's obviously the A4000T - best non-expanded, in expandability, one of the best in looks.

@leirbag

YOU'VE GOT ZIPS? I've been looking for them for years, but not willing to pay 30€+. The A3k needs (51)4400 or (slightly better) 514402.

@TjLaZer
I was selling Amigas until C='s demise (and a bit after) - all but the very first A3ks had HD drives - at least the 25 MHz models, never sold a 16 MHz. The only option you had was a 50 MB or a 105 MB Quantum - at least here in Germany.

ZIPs look like this:

(sorry for the shameless relink)
The chip package stands on edge and the pins are aligned in a zig-zag fashion.

I think you mean SIPs - they're like 30 pin SIMMs, but with legs.

Around '89 when the A3k was developed, the ZIP packaging promised the highest packing density and thus the smallest board footprint - 30 pin was obsolete and PS/2 wasn't affordable yet. The industry just went another direction.
