Just curious, wish I didn't sell mine in 1989.
I had a side memory expansion with a pwr LED and a RAM usage LED, which was pretty geeky cool, never saw another one since, nor is it listed at amiga-hardware sites, AFAICTell.
-
No I honestly can't say I have. At one time I was planning on doing the ultimate classic upgrade to an A1000 but I never found the time:-(
I absolutely have used an A500 for extensive internet stuff in the past though, including Amiga.org:-) It was a pretty serious A500 w/A530 and other goodies.
-
A guy i spoke with on IRC probably more than 1 year ago and who joined here but didnt post much used his A1000 for online and pretty much everything else, a pretty stacked up one to if i remeber correctly on which he's used since 1986 or so.
Maybe he's still around...
-
What a great idea! Never even thought of using my A1000 to go online. Mine is pretty much bone-stock except for the 256 ram upgrade. Is it possible to use a stock A1000 for web browsing? Best regards...Art

If a basic C64, upgraded with only an ethernet cart can surf the web, your A1000 should be able to ;-)
What kickstart do you have?
2.x is probably the minimum (just a guess, though). With that you could probably use AmiTCP and Lynx to view webpages with text only.
It would suck, but... ;-)

That I would like to see, are you for real?

hmm,.. what were you planning, though? I've heard of hardware-hacked A1000's with '030 inside, but not lately. It would be cool though for Bar talk?

WELL, I SURF THE WEB WITH A 20 YEAR OLD COMPUTER! "Impossible! the NET didn't start yet"
"How much you wanna bet me? ":-)

Yes, he is for real...Check out the Contiki web browser site here (http://www.dunkels.com/adam/contiki/apps/webbrowser.html)

Its true!!! :-o :-o :-o
But where would you get an ethernet controller for a 64? You would probably have to make it yourself.
-
Nope. I'm pretty sure Individual Computers just released/is about to release a C64 network interface. RR-Net, if I'm not delusional. :-o

Jens schoenfeld has indeed made an ethernet adaptor which fits on his Retro replay cartridge.
Vesalia is shipping them in a bundle package (RR-net + retro replay) for 99.90 euro (rougly $115)

AARRGGHH! I hate to let the cat out of the bag so early, but these will be available in the USA from me in a couple weeks:-D
-

Yes he is i have seen it in an amiga show video and at the last micromart computer fair.
-
Im thinking of selling my a1000 its only 512k and i have a scsi adaptor wich i have no software for and have not yet tested. :-)
-
Although I like the A1000 for being the first Amiga, I prefer my own A1200 (with all kinds of expansions) and my A2000 (with smaller expansions). The C64 being able to surf the net is nice. I have an RR-cartridge, but an still in doubt on whether or not to buy the RR-net expansions. It would be kind of cool to hook up my C128D to my lan.
BTW: my C128 is equiped with a 20 MHz CPU, 32 MB ram and a 1 GB SCSI harddisk, thereby seriously defeating my good old A2000... :-)

I have done this, but I need a new kickstart floppy now. (Mine was trashed a few years back)
I've messed with one of my 1000's however. It should be attending a show with me next year.

The one i have only came with a copy of the kickstart disk but then you dont see them on ebay like you do the workbench disks. :-o
-
I've had my Amiga 1000 on the web, but it's been a while. Must have been with an early AWEB... probabably with amtcp.
I have one of those ROM boards for the kickstart, and had an external 2-slot box with a RAM card & HD wedged in. I sold that part after I got a 2000.

@xeron
Sorry for not answering sooner, but I have workbench 1.2 on it, don't know for sure about the ROM. Any way of checking short of opening her up? Best regards...Art

Mine could, until fairly recently. I used Voyager and Miami Deluxe with a 56k Hayes modem. Right now I don't have a SCSI card working in it. So while it has a 50 MHz '030 and 32 megs of 32 bit RAM and 2 megs of fast. . . . all it can do is run from floppy right now.
I've been too busy tweaking my A1 and UAE on a Windoze box to bother with the 1000 right now.

@artman;
well, openning the Shell and entering version works for me:
New Shell process 6
6.OS3.5:> version
Kickstart 40.63, Workbench 44.2
6.OS3.5:>
