Suzanne was the first portable Amiga ever created. During 1997, Simon Archer became obsessed with the idea of owning an Amiga laptop and devised a plan to convert his standard Amiga 600 into a portable Amiga - the result was Suzanne.
Hardware Spec
- A600 motherboard and keyboard
- Apollo A620 28MHz 68020 accelerator with 8MB Fast Ram
- 8x IDE laptop CD-Rom drive. (Fitted below the PCMCIA slot)
- 2.5" IDE HD
- "Glidepoint" finger pad (avoids the need for a separate mouse)
- Small laptop power supply
- Black and White display
The display was attached by adapting the cabling and reconfiguring the Amiga monitor drivers to optimise the display.
An article on his experiences making Suzanne can be found in the October 1997 edition of CU Amiga Magazine.
