Yeah, I have a sidecar with a 40 *meg* hd in the floppy slot, that could be partitioned for use between the A1000 and the 4mghz XT PC. Booting the sidecar was a rather lengthy and somewhat flakey process though. 40 megs, even shared, wash humungous in the day.
I put an 8mghz 286 card in one of the slots in there  and it gave the Amiga a run, albeit with CGA graphics. What can I say, it was useful for PC programming assignments at school and uni.
Ah, those were the days when computing was fun.
Long live the A1000.

Ok. Going back to my happy place now.  
I used to love hotdogs!!!
