Here's  some info about the forthcoming A1400...  This is a protion of a message
on  FidoNet  which  was orginally posted by Rakim Isadoor...  And remember where
you heard it first!

Where did I here about it?

I heard about it from a Commodore hardware beta tester. I cannot betray his
confidence and reveal his name (he did not want me mentioning it in the first
place). He was right about the 1200 and he was right about the AGA chips way
before anything was confirmed, so I believe him to be right this time also.

When will it be available?

He says that it should hit the dealers around November at the present schedule
and maybe as much as a month sooner.

SPECS:

* It will be AGA just like the 1200. In fact it is almost identical to the
  Amiga 1200 in every regard except for a few very important improvements.

* It will have a 68020 running at either 25 or 28 MHz. His model has a 25 MHz
  68020 in it.

* It will have a detachable keyboard similar to that of a 4000.

* The main case will be the sleekest and smallest that Commodore has ever made
  for the Amiga (looks kind of like a Mac Performa 400).

* It will have a PCMCIA slot just like the 1200.

* Although the case will be small, there will more room for hard drives
  allowing the owner to purchase larger dimensions (and cheaper) hard drives.
  You are no longer limited to those expensive 2.5 inch ones.

* It will come standard with the same high density floppy disk drive that the
  Amiga 4000 comes with. It will also allow reading and writing of the older
  double density variety.

* there will be a small internal fan.

* There will be a 5.25 drive bay for tape drives/ cd rom etc.

* Two megs of Chip RAM.

* Standard configuration will be with 4 megs of RAM and a 80 meg hard drive.

How much will it cost?

Well, he says it should cost about a hundred more than a 1200 with a similar
set up.  They can do this because the 3.5 inch hard drives are A LOT cheaper
in mass.  Also expect the price of the 1200 to drop about $60.00 after the
1400's release. By Christmas, the Amiga 4000/030 should be selling for $1699.
