The Amiga A1000 computer is a legend. I was 15 years old when it hit the market in 1985. I am not sure though how many people are still out their waiting for a new obscure computer from Amiga.

The company is still alive and they just published specifications for a new Amiga computer.
This new Amiga system will be offered at a suggested retail price of $489.00. (without Monitor). The new Amiga is based on the Freescale MPC8349E SoC PowerPC CPU.

Released Amiga Hardware Specifications:

  • Flex-ATX form factor motherboard based on the Freescale MPC8349E SoC. (400MHz to 667MHz depending on requirements and price target)
  • 1 (one) DDR2 DIMM slot expandable to 1GB using unregistered DIMMs.
  • 1 (one) 66MHz PCI slot for use with readily available graphics cards.
  • 2 (two) 33MHz  PCI slots for additional expansion.
  • 2 (two) 10/100/1Gb Ethernet Ports.
