Amiga 2000

Amiga 2000

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 models

Amiga 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.
