[2] In common with earlier Amigas the 3000 runs a 32-bit operating system called AmigaOS.

Commodore had a licensing agreement with AT&T to include a port of Unix System V (release 4).

An enhanced version, the Amiga 3000+, with the AGA chipset and an AT&T DSP3210 signal processing chip was produced to prototype stage in 1991.

The machine is reported to have sold 14,380 units in Germany (including Amiga 3000T sales).

As a result, at launch the A3000 was compatible with many existing Amiga peripherals, such as MIDI devices, serial modems, and sound samplers.
