Commodore International unveiled its Amiga PC.

The basic Amiga carries a suggested retail price of $1,295 and includes a color display screen and about 256,000 characters of main memory that is expandable to about 512,000 characters. It also employs a version of Motorola’s 68000 microprocessor, the same microprocessor that powers Apple Computer’s Macintosh personal computer. Commodore said an option is available that allows the Amiga to run certain popular software designed for IBM’s Personal Computer. The Amiga will be available in September.
