The Puma
Announced Release:
November, 1994 |
According to press articles, the Puma was launched in November
of 1994. It is unlikely that Commodore officially sanctioned this
machine. The Puma was designed as a full multimedia system for the
professional market. In my opinion both of these machines are based
upon a CD32 using the SX-1 board to provide
all of the capabilities of a easy to use computer.

The Panther was an expanded version of the Puma, utilitising the
faster 68030 CPU and additional expansion slots. A rumour at the
time suggested a Video Toaster bundle was also planned.

Faster than a speeding tabby!
The range of feline Amigas was planned to continue with the advent
of a 68060-based Amiga system. As far as I know this has never came
to fruition, but the possibility is still there.
