It originally sold for 999. It was a variation of the Amiga2000 , and was released only in the United Kingdom . It differed from the A2000 by having two internal floppy disk drive floppy drives instead of one, the second being in place of the hard disk drive . The A1500 had no hard disk drive as standard. A1500s were easily convertible into A2000s by addition of a hard disk controller and associated drive , and then simply peeling off the A1500 label revealing the A2000 label beneath.

A project to replace it with a 68020 on board began, intending to be a Zorro II based 68020 machine, but the project eventually became the Amiga 3000 when Dave Haynie sought to include his new Zorro III bus. The A2500 remained in production after the release of the A3000, primarily because the original Video Toaster would not fit in an unmodified A3000 case.
