Personal computer, 1986, Commodore. The Amiga 2000-A is the original German version of the Amiga 2000, designed by Commodore Braunschweig and released in Germany at the end of 1986: essentially an Amiga 1000 in a big expandable case with Zorro slots and ISA slots for the Bridgeboard, with the Kickstart loaded into RAM like the A1000; it was soon replaced by the cost-reduced 2000-B designed in the United States.
