1. ComputerCity plans A4000 based computer

The Dutch Amiga dealer ComputerCity announced with the Amiga E4000 a computer based on the A4000 mainboard:

»Amiga E4000

First of all, this machine is not a new development, new mainboard, or anything like that. The E4000 consists of a standard Amiga 4000 mainboard (NEW) built in a ELBOX Ebox tower (also known as Power Tower or Winner Tower). The processor board is manufactured by Apollo. We supply AmigaOS 3.5 with this machine. If you buy an E4000 before OS 3.5 is out, it will be sent to you free of charge when it has been released. As the E4000 is based on the Amiga 4000 mainboard it has of course a CPU slot for PPC expansions.

Supplied only while stocks last. All components are available in virtually unlimited capacity except for the A4000 mainboards. When these run out the supply of E4000's will end (obviously).

Shipment of the E4000 will start in about 2 weeks. Pre-orders are being accepted as of today.
