 ===== The official models =====
-The A3000UX is no different from a standard A3000 except for the 3000UX badging, and a default configuration consisting of a 200MB HD and at least 8MB fast RAM. Amiga UNIX was also preinstalled. All other features were optional, usual expansions were A2065 Ethernet board and the A3070 tape drive. Check out A3000UX's hardware page here and also the similar A2500UX.

 **Out-of-the-box works (ie. drives built into the kernel)**
-  * Commodore A2090/A2091 SCSI controller board, A3000 internal SCSI controller
+Commodore hardware:
-  * Commodore A2065 10Base5/10Base2 Ethernet Adapter and the identical Ameristar AE2000 (see [[networking|Networking]])
+  * Amiga 3000 on-board SCSI controller
-  * Commodore A2410 "Lowell" video card (enables 8-bit color depth in X)

+  * A2410 "Lowell" video card (enables 8-bit color depth in X) - see [[x11|X11]]
+  * A3070 SCSI Tape drive - see here for more about tape drives: [[tape-creation|using tape in Amix]]
+  * [[a2232|A2232 Serial expansion board]] (multiple serial port console support)
+Compatible:
   * Phase5 Blizzard 4030 (A3000 CPU card, 68030@50MHz) (verified by user)
-  * Wangtek 5150 ES, Caliper or Sankyo CP-150 SCSI tape drives.
 **Works with drivers from Gateway UNIX CDs **

   * Village Tronic Ariadne I Ethernet board
   * GVP SCSI controller
-  * Following graphics boards: Domino 32K, Domino 16M, oMniBus, Merlin (in ZorroII mode), Picasso II (only in linear mode), Piccolo (in ZorroII mode), Spectrum (in ZorroII mode)
-The last four boards have blitter support, all boards support panning of virtual/oversized screens. The limitation to ZorroII mode is because the AMIX memory mapping system can't deal with ZorroIII boards and the source for the important parts is not provided with AMIX... :-( I left out segmented boards (PicassoII in segemnted mode, Retina Z2) because of workload and performance reasons...
