The PCA model that was equipped with a faster processor.
Very similar in appearance to the 128D, it was a low-cost model thanks to its more compact design.
It was sold primarily in the United States and Canada starting in 1987.
Despite being aimed at the high-end market, it was technically very similar to the Amiga 500.
The Amiga 2500 model was a variant with two pre-installed floppy drives, sold in the United Kingdom.
It was the first of what would become the second generation of Macs, in which the display was an external component of the computer and no longer integrated into it.
It was the first Mac to have a color display.
It had a highly modular system, with the video card in a NuBus-type slot, allowing it to be replaced with a third-party card to achieve millions of colors on screen.
It was equipped with a Motorola 68020 microprocessor running at 16 MHz and a 32-bit bus (compared to the 8 MHz and 16-bit bus of the 68000).
An IBM PC compatible equipped with an NEC V20 microprocessor, which, being a clone of the i8088, surpassed it in performance.
This low-cost Commodore, aimed at the home market, was a huge success in Europe, where it dominated the computer video game market, rivaling the Sega Megadrive and Super Nintendo video game consoles.
It was released a few months after the Model 30. Designed as a low-cost model for the home, it eliminated the MicroChannel bus and replaced it with the previous ISA bus so that users could use more common and cheaper cards.
