The X68030 Pro was the successor of the X68000 XVI Compact. It was the last evolution of the X68 series.

It was followed by the X68030 Compact which used 3.5" floppy disks instead of the 5.25".

There were lots of hardware developments on this computer, in particular an accelerator card based on the Motorola 68040 or 68060.
