The first two hardware platforms are aimed at 'leisure' computing programmers, who wish to experiment in porting games, applications and utilities from the Classic Amiga platform to the Amiga OE.

The multimedia platforms are ideal for commercial multimedia games and program developers who wish to work at the forefront of development under the Amiga OE.

To complement these systems we are also offering the EZDev-A1200 integration pack comprising PCMCIA ethernet card, CC_Reset adapter, 3m crossed UTP cable, Eyetech's 5-click SAMBA installer software for Linux, KMON keyboard switcher, SMON/F A1200-EZDev monitor switcher and Amiga-EZDev audio integration cable. (code DEV-A12-INT).

If on the other hand you want a complete ready-to-run integrated A1200 and EZDev-Tower system, we can install, along with your EZDev-Tower, a brand new A1200 with all the known manufacturing faults fixed, a 4.3GB hard drive, 40x CDROM, EZCD buffered interface, EZKey2 PC keyboard interface and EZVGA internal scandoubler/flickerfixer Mk2. (Code DEV-A12-CF1).

Finally we are offering discounts on the Amiga OE SDK when purchased with any EZDev system (code AOE-SDK-1.0-SP).
