The one that started the Amiga craze! It will be an upgraded A1000! A1000 courtesy of Luca Cappa

Think the Commodore 128 had 3 computers in one?! Well, here's an Amiga that has 3-in-one!

This A2000 has been recently rebuilt with an Amiga 2000 Replica PCB and now has a 2 gig IDE drive (via SCSI-to-IDE), Amiga OS 3.1, a 68010 CPU at 7.14 MHz, 6 megs of Fast RAM, 1 meg of Chip RAM, a full complement of WHDLoad games and demos; an 80386 Bridgeboard running at 25 MHz, 2 megs of RAM shared with the Amiga, DOS 5.0, PC games; and an A-Max module with Mac OS 6.0 running a classic Mac apps/games. An amazing machine in this configuration! A2000 courtesy of Stephen Jones

Nicely housed in a Checkmate 1500 Plus case, this is an Amiga 500 with OS 3.14 and a HC533 accelerator running a 68000 at 33 MHz. with 8 mb of Fast RAM and Super Denise. For the hard drive, there is an IDE-to-SD card adapter with an 8gb card plus a GoTek and original floppy drive. Checkmate A500 courtesy of Brian Schulteis

The A1200 being exhibited has a 68060 50 MHz. CPU, OS 3.9, 2 megs Chip RAM, 128 megs Fast RAM, and Arcade Game Selector II. A1200 courtesy of Robert Bernardo

This modestly-upgraded A600 with Kickstart 3.2.1, OS 3.2, 2 megs of Chip RAM, 8 megs of Fast RAM, 2 gig CF hard drive, and Arcade Game Selector II. A600 courtesy of Robert Bernardo

This Amiga 2000 has a v8 motherboard with Vampire 500 v2 accelerator board and 128 megs of Fast RAM. A2000/V500+ courtesy of Luca Cappa

Amiga-clone computer. The size of a small brick, the Vampire v4 is one of the fastest Amigas ever, sporting 512 megs of Fast RAM and running on Coffin OS or Apollo Core OS, basically Amiga OS-compatible with the Amiga chipset reimplemented in FPGA. Vampire v4 standalone courtesy of Luca Cappa

Like the Amiga 2000/Vampire 500 listed above, the Amiga 600/Vampire 600 has 128 megs of Fast RAM. Amiga 600/V600+ courtesy of Luca Cappa

Here is a goodie… it's an Amiga CD32 with a Paravision SX1 expansion that gives 8 MB of RAM. CD32 courtesy of and Paravision SX1 courtesy of Luca Cappa.

From ACube Systems of Italy, the Sam440ep is a PowerPC-based computer and runs AmigaOS 4.1. Sam440 courtesy of Bernie Innocenti

From Retro Games Ltd. of England comes THEA500 (Mini), a small re-creation of the Amiga 500. THEA500 Mini runs the Amiberry emulator on an ARM-based computer. It has 25 games built into the system with hundreds more via USB, like those available at https://www.aminimiga.com/. THEA500 Mini courtesy of Robert Bernardo

From Retro Games Ltd. of England comes THEC64 (Maxi), a re-creation of the brown Commodore 64. THEC64 Maxi is Linux-based computer running a specialized version of VICE. It has 64 games built into the system with hundreds more via THEC64 Enhancer USB stick (from Ami64.com) and the Retro8Bit USB stick (from Retro8BitShop.com). THEC64 Maxi courtesy of Robert Bernardo

A later PET 2001, this one has a full-sized keyboard and upgraded ROM. The MSD SD-2 dual floppy drive is connected to the PET via an IEE-488 parallel cable. PET and MSD courtesy of Ryan Sherwood

Not common over in North America, the European C128 has a plastic case, carrying handle, and 16K video RAM, making the machine more similar to a flat C128 and external 1571 drive rather than the metal C128DCR. European C128D courtesy of Luca

Ah, your basic C64 with a C2N Datasette. System courtesy of Arlis K Studios

This is a C128DCR with Ultimate II cartridge, showing off C64 and C128-specific programs, like TRIANGULAR μOS 1.35. C128DCR courtesy of Ryan Sherwood

This is another one of Commodore's forays into business computers - the unsuccessful B128. Included is the high-density, parallel floppy disk drive, the SFD-1001. B128 and SFD-1001 courtesy of Ryan Sherwood

The Commander X16 is a new computer inspired by the Commodore 64 and the VIC-20. It runs a 65C02 CPU at 8 MHz. with an enhanced KERNAL and BASIC 2.0, 512K ROM, 40K RAM for programs, and 512K banked RAM. The VERA FPGA provides graphics, sound, and SD capabilities.
