Sorry to dig up an old thread but noticed this site while randomly searching the net.
My A1000 has been parked in a cupboard for quite a few years going nowhere. I had assumed that I'd get into it again when my kids grew up but that's not happening. I have a SCSI phoenix in it, which I bought (a looong time ago) after trying an external ram/ide card that got stolen by the company that made it (when they tried to fix a fault in it).
I'm interested in seeing whether there's still interest in the machine and I can put it on ebay. I'm based in Sydney Australia.
