A A3000, as well referred to as a Commodore Amiga 3000, was a lot extra good proposition to build a agent multimedia system computer than the last A2000 effort. It was freed within 1990

the Amigthe 3000 come around a desktop pack by having a separate keyboard. It featured: the Motorola 68030 processor at either 16Mhz or 25Mhz (A 16Mhz system were discontinued before long fallowing). 2Mb of memory (configured when 1Mb chip ram & 1Mb 32bit Convenient ram), expandable to the sum of 18Mb onboard. the 68881 or 68882 FPU coprocessor a ECS chipset. the SCSI interface and the Quantum 40Mb or even 100Mb Tierce.Five" Hard Drive. a built-in 'flicker fixer' which enabled the use of a VGA monitor.

One could increase the amount of Fast RAM by adding ZIP DRAM chips, these were notoriously difficult to fit - and were available in two varieties, Page Mode or Static Column.

Other models included the A3000UX bundled with UNIX System V Release 4, and the A3000T tower computer.

An enhanced version, the Amiga 3000+, with the AGA chipset and an AT&T DSP chip was produced to prototype stage but never launched, instead Commodore replaced the A3000 with the cost-reduced A4000.

The A3000 designation was also used on an Acorn Archimedes model.
