The Amiga 3000 came in a desktop box with a separate keyboard. It featured:

• a Motorola 68030 processor at either 16Mhz or 25Mhz (The 16Mhz models were discontinued soon after).
• 2Mb of memory (configured as 1Mb chip ram and 1Mb 32bit Fast ram), expandable to a total of 18Mb onboard.
• a 68881 or 68882 FPU coprocessor
• the ECS chipset.
• a SCSI interface and a Quantum 40Mb or 100Mb 3.5" Hard Drive.
• a built-in 'flicker fixer' which enabled the use of a VGA monitor.
