The Micronik tower is made of a standard A1200
motherboard encased with a Micronik tower upgrade. The extra space provided
allows easy expansion through a number of slots. Like the A1400,
Zorro support is added through the Z3i busboard. The Z3i board features
5x Zorro III (Zorro II and Zorro III compatible), 1 ISA, 3x PCI slots (for
cheap PCI cards), as well as a SCSI controller and A4000 CPU slot. Unfortunately
the PCI slots seem rather under used requiring a bridgeboard to work or
a Penitrator Pentium-on-a-card. Zorro III
cards can only be used in conjunction with a A4000 accelerator such as
the CyberVision. If you want to use an A1200 trapdoor accelerator the machine
will be restricted to Zorro II cards. The Zorro III slots are also not
as fast as the Zorro 3 slots found on the A4000. These machines are available
in different variations including versions containing a 020, 040, and 060
accelerators, as well as Picasso IV and 20Mb+ fast RAM.
The tower itself can be obtained separately if you already have an accelerator
and, being full-sized, comes with a large amount of space. By default the
Micronik tower comes with two 5.25" bays, 3.5 bays designed for floppy
and hard drives, as well as an external Amiga keyboard. If your tower is
filled it can be easily extended by clipping extra drive bays on to the
top of the machine.

The Infinitiv II A1500 is the same specification as the Infinitiv A1500,
but comes fitted inside the new Infinitiv II Tower case.
