COMMODORE INTRODUCES AMIGA(r) WITH 68020

 Amiga 2500 features doubled processor speed, math co-processor and 2MB of
 32-bit RAM for workstation-level applications.

 LAS VEGAS, November 14, 1988 -- Commodore Business Machines, Inc.
 Today they introduced the Amiga 2500 designed for the needs of graphics,
 animation and video professionals. Based on the original Amiga 2000
 introduced a year ago, the Amiga 2500 is configured with an A2620/2
 co-processor card that comes standard with the Motorola(r) 68020 processor,
 2 MB of 32-BIT RAM (expandable to 4 MB) and a 68881 math co-processor.

 These high-performance features enable the new Amiga system to perform at
 the workstation-level speeds required by many of the new second generation
 graphics-based Amiga applications.

 "The Amiga 2500 is a natural Progression of the Amiga technology," said
 Joel Shusterman, Commodore Vice President of Marketing. "The Amiga 2500 has
 no equal in its price/performance class and offers all of the original
 design benefits of the Amiga 2000 as an expandable, multi-tasking,
 multi-processing, multi-operating system machine."

 The advanced graphics capability of the Amiga series is ideally suited to
 color desktop publishing and presentation, 3-D solid modeling and
 professional video applications. With the additional speed of the Amiga
 2500, color rendering time of the 3-D graphics and re-calculation time for
 modifying full-color desktop publishing pages can be reduced substantially.
 Performance increases can be up to 400 percent.

 Standard on the Amiga 2500 is a Motorola 68020-based co-processor card
 (A2620/2) running at 14.26 MHz with 2 MB of 32-bit RAM, (expandable to 4 MB
 of 32-bit RAM); a built-in 3.5 inch flpppy disk drive; a pre-configured,
 high-performance 40 MB hard disk drive and hard disk controller; custom
 sound, anination and graphics chips; RS232 serial and parallel connectors;
 and two RCA-type audio output jacks.

 Also available is an MS-DOS(r) compatible Bridgboard allowing the Commodore
 Amiga to run MS-DOS compatible software under Amiga control.

 The open architecture of the Commodore Amiga allows extensive internal
 expansion with multi-processor, multi-DOS options. Contained in the Amiga
 2500 are seven full-size internal expansion slots which include a
 combination of Amiga, standard PC XT/AT and dual purpose slots; a CPU
 expansion slot and a video expansion slot.

 The Commodore Amiga 2500 will be available through authorized Commodore
 Amiga dealers and has a suggested retail price of $4,699.

 The Amiga 2500 is part of Commodore's complete line of graphics-oriented
 personal computers. In addition to the Amiga, Commodore also manufactures
 the MS-DOS compatible Professional Series III and the Commodore Colt(tm)
 computers. The Commodore(r) 64 and Commodore 128 have an installed user
 base of over ten million worldwide.
