Amiga models and variants

This is a list of models and clones of Amiga computers. The first Amiga computer was the "Lorraine" developed using the Sage IV system. It consisted of a stack of breadboarded circuit boards. These models are not hardware compatible with the 68k Amigas. These chipsets were planned but never fabricated. Some computers were released by other companies which were AmigaOS compatible. DraCo: Released by MacroSystem in 1994. This was a high end machine which ran AmigaOS 3.1, but did not include the Amiga chipset, instead using a graphics card. A second version was known as the Draco Vision. A newer model, the Draco Casablanca, was released in 1997. The machines featured a 68040 or 68060 CPU. The Access: Released by Index Information in 1998. This was an Amiga compatible similar to the A1200, but on a motherboard which could fit into a standard 5 1/4" drive bay. It featured either a 68020 or 68030 CPU, with a redesigned AGA chipset, and ran AmigaOS 3.1. Minimig is a hardware compatible open source re-implementation of an Amiga 500 using a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). Vampire V4 Standalone, released by Apollo Team in 2019, provides ECS/AGA chipset re-implementation, plus "68080" CPU and "Super AGA" graphics, also using a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The Pegasos II and Sam440ep can run AmigaOS 4. Prototypes: A3500: Prototype of the Amiga 3000T, it was housed in a Commodore PC60-III tower case. Due to management turmoil, some viable Amiga models under development were cancelled prior to release: A3000+: Prototyped in 1991, it used the AGA chipset and had an AT&T DSP3210 chip, high-fidelity audio, telephone line interface, and 2.5 Mbit/s RS-485 network port. A1000+: Intermediate in price and features between the A1200 and A3000+, it would have been a detached keyboard system with expansion slots (two Zorro slots, video slot, CPU slot). A number of new Amiga models were announced after the end of the Commodore model era. However, very few of them were ever produced beyond simple prototypes (if they even got that far).
