Title: ACA500+ working on Amiga 1000 at end of sidcar train :-)
Post by: klx300r on April 01, 2017, 08:01:25 PM

just tried today and very happy to report it works great at the end of  my scsi car train so very easy to keep my original classic config and  also use the modern features the A500+ gives without the hassle of  messing with my side cars.  Also I know many Amiga 1000 users had issues  of having to restart their miggies many times until the ACA500 kicked  in but so far every time I boot up the ACA500+ comes right up...maybe  luck or maybe that's due to the upgrades in the + ?

I asked Jens recently about compatibility and he said there are timing issues with both.
I have been looking into others experiences recently (even today) and most have to reboot a few times.

Jens said a 1000 version will happen but not soon. I may try anyways.
