Title: #3 Amiga 1000 Pre-production Comdex machine + #25 Amiga Monitor Pre-production
Post by: bd1308 on April 22, 2010, 06:56:43 PM: Talking with a guy at work who is shortly retiring. Just had to pass this along. He has the 3rd pre-production model of Amiga 1000 that was shown at Comdex. It has EEPROMs instead of ROM chips, as they were still tinkering with the ROMs. Also, he said it contained kickstart 0.9.

I'm hyperventilating.

Post by: bd1308 on April 22, 2010, 07:21:30 PM: Yeah I may have to get pictures of this thing. He said that it has the boing ball icon instead of the checkmark logo. I really at least either need to see this thing in person, or get some pictures.

Post by: bd1308 on April 22, 2010, 07:30:28 PM: If I had the chance of going to his place and picking up a 1200 and one or two 3000s i'd be one happy amiga'er. I only got a chance to mess around with my 1200 a little bit, and couldnt ever use the 4000 (no scan doubler) so now its at my storage unit.

Post by: Pentad on April 22, 2010, 09:21:02 PM: I would love to get a dump of the roms(eproms) and a copy of the Kickstart/Workbench set that he has. I wonder if its older than the current 'oldest' version of Kickstart/Workbench that has been archived?
