The Infinitv 1500 systems are located at the high-end of
Micronik's A1200-based tower systems. The extra space provided by
the Micronik tower upgrade allows greater expansion opportunities,
through the added Zorro interface. Unlike the mid-range A1400, the i1500 is fitted with a Z3i
busboard, providing Zorro 3 expansion slots. The Z3i board
features:
- 5 x Zorro III (Zorro II and Zorro III compatible)
- 1 x ISA slots
- 3 x PCI slots (for cheap PCI cards)
- SCSI controller
- A4000 CPU slot
Unfortunately the PCI slots are under utilized, requiring a
bridgeboard or a Penitrator
(Pentium-on-a-card) to work. The first active PCI interface would
not appear for a further three years (2000) on the Mediator
expansion board. A second limitation is that the Zorro III
interface can only be used in conjunction with a A4000 CPU
accelerator. If an A1200 trapdoor accelerator is fitted, the
machine is restricted to Zorro II. These machines are available in
several variations, according to the processor (68020, 040, or 060
accelerators), as well as the inclusion of a Picasso IV and the
amount of Fast RAM.
The tower itself can be obtained separately if you already have
an A1200. The Micronik tower comes with two 5.25" and two 3.5"
bays, intended for floppy and hard disk usage. In the event that
the tower is filled, additional drive bays can be purchased and
attached onto the top of the machine.
