Motorola 68030 processor at either 16 MHz or 25 MHz (The 16 MHz models were discontinued soon after).     2 Mb of memory (configured as 1 Mb chip RAM and 1 Mb 32bit Fast RAM), expandable to a total of 18 Mb onboard.     68881 or 68882 FPU coprocessor (The 16 MHz model shipped with a 68881, the 25 MHz model with a 68882) the ECS chipset.     SCSI interface and a Quantum LPS40S (40 MB), LPS52S (50 MB) or LPS105S (100 MB) 3.5" Hard Drive.     built-in 'flicker fixer' which enabled the use of a VGA monitor.     One could increase the amount of Fast RAM by adding ZIP DRAM chips, these were notoriously difficult to fit - and were available in two varieties, Page Mode or Static Column.     Other models included the A3000UX bundled with UNIX System V Release 4, and the A3000T tower computer.     An enhanced version, the Amiga 3000+, with the AGA chipset and an AT&T DSP chip was produced to prototype stage but never launched, instead Commodore replaced the A3000 with the cost-reduced A4000.
