A3400 and a mysterious label...

[starf81]

Hello!

Have you ever heard something about the A3400 project??

Some years ago a friend of mine has gifted to me his A2000. It had a nice configuration but a particular label on the bezel catched my eyes. It reports "Commodore A3400" with the same style of C= A1200 labels.
Unfortunately he didn't remember how he found that label.
Here is a scan:



Looking into the amiga-hardware archive, I've discovered that the A3400 should have been an early project name for what eventually became the A4000.
My label looks exactly like the one in this picture.

Do you know how many and if these babies are around?
It is an interesting story. I've never heard anything about this Amiga version and since I own the label, I'd like to know more about it.
Just to understand what is this label that has arrived to me... :-)

Ciao!

Your 2000 has this 3400 label on its bezel? Is that what you're saying?

[starf81]

Yes, I'm saying this!
But I don't think that A2000 had originally the A3400 label. Simply the friend who gifted to me the A2000 has attached that label on the bezel of his Amiga.

But I'd really like to know how and where he found the A3400 label :-)

Why don't you ask him? I had to do a lot of digging to find information on the 3500 I received but finally got the information.

If I remember correctly the A3400 were development machines prior to the finally revision of the A4000. I thinks it's something in the region of 200 - ish that went out to devs. Of course that number could be totally wrong.

Edit:

I dont know what this is but it's refered to as the A1000Jr and one variation has the designation A3400

A1000Jr varaints

I asked him when he gave me his A2000 but he didn't remember. However I'll try to ask you again!

Imagine if he owns also the A3400 prototype...  :-D

You sure about that? The 00 seems to be lower than the A34, and the image reports:

CreatorTool="Adobe Photoshop CS3 Macintosh"

[starf81]

What are you insinuating... ?

[Fixer]

Maybe your friend gave you a dodgy pic - is it possible he's lying to you?

The scan seems to be gone, I cant see a picture or link to it?

[starf81]

The scan is still there, I can see it.
Try to refresh the page...

[Orjan]

Nope.. Still cant see it.. Tried internet explorer as well, but no go.. Oh well, guess I have to imagine it..

Edit: Thats weird.. Looked at the source for the page and extracted the link to the image, but when I entered it in my browser, there was nothing, just white background.. Strange..

[starf81]

Oh, you're right... now it seems gone!  :-o
But... after 2 or 3 refreshes it has appeared again.
It's a really strange behaviuor.

However, try these links:

LINK 1
LINK 2

These should work... let me know!

[Orjan]

Ah! Link 1 didnt work, but link 2 did..

I'm getting two void.gifs of 1 by 1 pixel.  :-?
