Amiga Nutta - Direct, Power Amiga

Direct Software - Power Amiga for �1,499

New details about Direct Software's Power Amiga have been released. It will be unveiled to the public at the World of Amiga show '97 in the Uk. Below are the specs that it will feature:-

060 Processor

Graphics Card

AGA Hardware

22 Meg Memory

CD-ROM

1 Gigabyte Harddrive

Dedicated 3D Chips

Zorro Slots

Monitor

As you can tell from the above specs it does not actually contain a PowerPC processor...Yet. This could cause some confusion. Although the machine sounds very powerful it isn't really a step forward as all it is, is a A1200 stuck in a tower case with some bits added on. It's nothing that isn't already available.

At the moment the price being quoted for this 'Power Amiga' is �1,499. This isn't a bad price really considering what it contains. Hopefully there will also be some kind of upgrade procedure so you can upgrade you amiga to this spec for a smaller amount...

A real Power PC version of this Amiga could be in the works from Direct Software soon.....
