The "Commodore Amiga Development System Serial No D-597" Label looks like it's been printed on 80GSM Paper by an 800dpi laser printer, cut out with scissors and stuck to the unit with a clear poly label.   Not saying that's what it is.  But thats what it looks like.

The A1000 obviously looks a very early one.

Woooh, good ! Blue buttons mouse ?
 
And why don't you test it on a TV set ?
All got a Composite input.

The mouse is a neo brand...  So your saying I can just plug it into any yellow rca port and it should work just fine?:confused:

Yes, any yellow composite connector on a tv should do. I used my a1000's with composite monitors.
Oh yeah?!?
Well your stupid bit is set,
and its read only!

So would that mean the label is newer, cause it looks pretty old to me...

What's more interesting to me is that old Library card looking affair to the right-with the word "velvet".  What was "velvet"?  Plus it looks like it has some signatures in the block.  What was the mod?  What was Velvet?  Have you seen the Milkman?

It's a vast conspiracy! :laugh1:

That's an odd looking keyboard?

Please try and connect it up through composite - get some screenshots and send them over to WB Nostalgia at the very least (the earliest OS there is v27).  Were there any disks in the box with it?

Hey, can you dump the roms and any disks that came with it?

I would really like to look through the boot roms and any Kickstart/Workbench that came with it?

Did it come with Kickstart or Workbench?

I would really like to run an undelete on the disks (copies of course) to see what interesting things come up.  Kickstart/Workbench had all kinds of tidbits....

It's just a bunch of green garble, some movement in the pixels and when I pressed f1, f2, f3, etc... some more pixels would move... as far as the keyboard, it has no markings, just the commodore logo on the keys[ATTACH]648[/ATTACH]

Where can I download A1000 boot disk or programs?  I want to try booting it up with one, see if anything different happens...

Boy that output looks pretty bad....Maybe composite is bad?!?  

I'm sure you would get better offers on eBay if you could get a Kickstart Request screen.

Maybe try emailing Dave Haynie or Bil Herd?  Bil's a super nice guy...

Thanks for making the weekend more interesting!

Good Luck!
