Could you imagine if Commodore released the Amiga Walker with a 1 1/2 HP Motor
+ Power issues would be gone, running the Amiga would be like worrying about the backlights on a panel of buttons
+ You could play Shadow of the Beast in the woods and in that idyllic environment, appreciate it enough to finish it. + It requires a thick hefty and meaty power cord that wouldn't get worn out so easily. - Vacuum fan might drown out Paula just through sheer loudness. - Fast RAM is included on the motherboard, this is highly controversial. |

I think it needs more solar panels, but I'm not entirely sure about that.

Commodore? Don't you mean Escom?

No if Commodore built the Walker in 1991 with AA+, a tray loading CD and a high density floppy and a bagless vacuum, then people would still be using them today.
Why they'd be so good at cleaning up the woods, Canada might not have burnt all last year. |

Was not walker a joke for year 1995 with only 030 AGA machine? Some ex commodore engineers made some salaries out of it though through consulting. Petro Tsch was I think not that capable. Uk guys should had bought commodore

Walker was a dead serious concept while Escom negotiated to sell the Amiga. Just like this thread.

Ah, just reread it.. This was to be wall powered. Can't have that, we only have a precious few outlets in the forests. Last edited by Jope; 12 March 2024 at 18:51. Reason: Lamenting the fact that it wasn't gasoline powered after all |

There's still a lot to do to improve the forest vacuuming infrastructure if we want to keep local emissions to a minimum. |

Don't despair, It's going to be a long cord to Olkiluoto, but Sisu can do it.

Thankfully sisu is the one thing we have an ample supply of. Enabled us to move from holes-in-the-ground to huts made out of peat over the past few centuries.

I read about Walker specs, decided Amiga was dead. YMMV

It had better specs than the A3000 and those riser slots like an A4000, and room to fit a 1 1/2 HP blower motor. If you wanted air filtering you'd have to like waste one Zorro slot, but it's not technically necessary.
I read a post somewhere where they linked a Philips Ultrasound machine with one and the narrow hose attachment and could run a whole clinic with just two Amigas! |

Does anyone re-manufacture the hepa filter for Amiga Walker hoover? I can't find any?
