Amiga 1800

The A1800 was a concept Amiga system created by Amiga Format as a possible means of using Amiga CD-ROM. At the time (1994) it was suspected that Commodore would release a CD-ROM system to bridge the gap between the A1200 and CD32. The machine was based upon a cost-reduced A1200 with a CD-ROM drive "stuck" on the side. At the time the book was written Commodore had just entered liquidation, leading the authors to believe an A1800-like machine was unlikely to be released.

The machine described on this page is the product of speculation and the desires by various Amiga magazines on what would make the perfect Amiga. In other words, THEY ARE PURE FICTION. They reveal a great deal on the state of the market at the time and the perceived needs of the Amiga consumer
