The A4000 is "the best" Amiga ever made.
It is everything the A3000 is, and AGA.
How can the A3000 be "the best" Amiga when it doesnt run and can never be made to run a proportion of Amiga software?
The whole Amiga Community I knew when the A4K was released in 1992, all sighed with dissapointment at the lack of onboard SCSI.
Since the demise of the Big C=, everyone has forgot just what SCSI was all about & how it intergrated with the Amiga Hardware.
Sure, the A4 series wern't as solidly built as the A3 series, but as Alex says above, the A4 was capable of more colours & newer/faster software to take advantage of AGA.
Actually, the A4 series should never have been released. The A4 was a prototype for the A3500 which was planned as an A3000 with Flicker Fixer, SCSI & AGA chipset. The A4 series was a result of a cheaper product to manufacture, but should really have been the AAA chipset. This was the final nail in the coffin for C= as their marketing strategys were simply just not aggressive enough. C= sat on their arses too long raking the money in as a gaming computer. The hardware developers must have been really pissed off at not seeing AAA implemented.
I had an A3000D before my A4000 in 1993. I loved it, but it moved sideways after I threw a SCSI card & PicassoIV in the A4KD.
I never looked back. ;-)
