The
Amiga 2000, or
A2000, is a
personal computer released by
Commodore in March 1987. It was introduced as a "big box" expandable variant of the
Amiga 1000 but quickly redesigned to share most of its electronic components with the contemporary
Amiga 500 for cost reduction. Expansion capabilities include two 3.5"
drive bays (one of which was used by the included
floppy drive) and one 5.25" bay that could be used by a 5.25" floppy drive (for
IBM PC compatibility), a
hard drive, or
CD-ROM once they became available.
