Commodore Amiga 2500

A2500 Unit
Developer: Commodore International
Launch date: 1989

The A2500 systems were based upon the final revisions of the A2000-B motherboard design before the A3000 was released. The first model was released during 1989 and was most popular in the US and Canada, appealing to the high-end user and professional market. There was very little difference from previous revisions of the A2000, the most notable being the addition of processor cards increasing the system speed.

The A2500 range consisted of three specifications:

  • The A2500/020 shipped with an A2620 processor card featuring a 68020 and 68881 14 MHz.
  • The A2500/030 with an A2630 featuring a 68030 and 68882 25 MHz.
  • Of particular interest was the A2500UX. This shipped with AT&T Unix System V Release 4 operating system rather than a version of the AmigaOS, as well as a three button mouse. A tape streamer and Ethernet card were an optional upgrade.
