Not only Aros and Minimig, but people like DJBase, lordv, mrmkl, and many talented others keep coming up with AMAZING new professional quality projects with spare time and money that they probably don't have to make our old systems more powerful. Not too long ago you couldn't easily take a stock Amiga 1000 and add Kickstart 2.x or 3.1, and an IDE hard drive! Plus there is the Clone-A project as well.

What we need to do also is make sure the gathering places stay alive as well. Cheers to Wayne for keeping this web site up for all of these years. I know I need to feed the kitty more often than I do.

Well I am aware of the AdIDE but they simply aren't available right now. I looked for a LONG time and finally gave up when I was out bid at $200.00 on ebay a while back.

Now you can buy or make the IDE 68K project for a very reasonable price. As far as Kickstart goes, I really didn't research it. I just watched DJBases project and bought that when it came available, again very professional and reasonably priced.

The options that you mention are great too, nothing wrong except availability. I had mine also back in 88 or so, but I foolishly traded it off. I am only just now rebuilding the 1000's that I sold years ago.
