In 1987, two years after the launch of Amiga 1000, this beast arrived. It featured 512Kb (later 1Mb) RAM, an upgradable CPU, five Zorro II slots (very expandable) and two 16-bit ISA slots. There was also a hard disk version named Amiga 2000HD.
Different modelsAmiga 2000A - Designed in Germany and based on the Amiga 1000 motherboard. This machine came with 512Kb RAM and suffered from reliability problems.
Amiga 2000B - Designed in the USA and basically a machine inbetween 2000A and a cost reduced version of Amiga 500. Thanks to the cheaper and more logical design, 1Mb RAM moved onto the motherboard. Known as B2000 in the UK.
Amiga 2000C - Featured the Enhanced Chipset (ECS) and the Kickstart was updated to version 2.04, otherwise identical to 2000B. Known as 2000+ in the USA.
