Amiga 2400
Developer: Amiga Format
Year of Announcement: February 1993
The Amiga 2400 was Amiga Format's idea of what a mid-range Amiga
would be like during 1993. The gap between the A1200 and A4000
seemed ludicrous at the time making a mid-range system essential,
in order to compete with a new generation of Intel PC's retailing
for under £1000. The idea was to start from the base A1200
unit, incorporate expansion slots and move the machine to a larger
case, give it a faster 68030 CPU, high-density drive, external
keyboard, and 40Mb internal hard drive. The specifications are
similar to the Amiga Walker machine that Amiga Technologies
developed in 1996. If Commodore had released a similar machine it
would have allowed Amiga enthusiasts and developers to take
advantage of faster processors much sooner and redefined the Amigas
image as a serious computer.
The magazine suggested that such a system would retail in the
region of £799.
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
