4644.0. "Amiga 3000T" by DELNI::MEYER (Dave Meyer) Thu Mar 28 1991 15:58

    	The May Amiga World (today's mail) has a couple of pages describing
    the A3000T, a Tower variant on the 25MHz A3000. It has LOTS of room,
    more than an A2000, for those who need to customize their systems or
    for those who love throwing $$$ at their toys. Then again, maybe this
    issue was due to arrive Monday, the 1st.

4644.1Pure coincidence... ;-)FROCKY::BALZERChristian Balzer DTN:785-1029Tue Apr 02 1991 04:0711
Re: .0

Nobody's trying to make an April fool outta you.
The A3000T is reality (it was shown at the recent CeBIT) and will cost 
~DM 700 more than the A3000 here in Germany.
Your availability and prices may vary.

Cheers,

I don't think so. Dave Haynie commented on this that they didn't change any
of the form factors that makes the Toaster A3000 incompatible.

As far as I understand it, the Toaster doesn't like the ECS Denise and also
violates the publicated video slot form factors.
So it's NewTek's responsibility to "fix" it.

    In talking with a developer at the dealers yesterday, I was told that
    Amiga world was not supposed to release that atricle. He stated that
    the article was very very premature. The temptation for a scoop must
    have overwhelmed them. It looks nice though. It will probably become
    the standard for un*x systems in the CBM world. I also saw a brand new
    3000 for 2800.00 dollars(25mhz forgot drive size 52meg??) They only had
    one at that price. No indication of the price on the tower(not set yet)
    but I imagine that it will be pricy so as to appeal too those that
    cannot appreciate a good deal. Actually I think it will be higher just
    because of the features it offers, but expect it will blow the doors
    off the other guys. I have seen cases where people were hesitant to buy
    Amiga because they were scared by the low price.
