A1000. I just love the look of it. Its really cute.

I own 2. I bought the second just for the 2 meg memory upgrade. I even have a 40 gig HD in my XT sidecar(like a bridgeboard only in an external box connected at the side) and stuck in an AT card that ran and whopping 8mghz. Woah.
The A1000 accessed the PC hd. Well it got me through school and let me program in pascal. (If only the bootup to do this didn't take so long.) Some of the error messages connecting to sidecar were hillarious.
One that comes to mind, "Really Broken. Stop All and Reboot". Wasn't good when showing the system in front of my PC and ST owning friends but we all cracked up.

I'll probably gut one for the Amiga One upgrade. Mahaha.
Poor thing. I've already seen someone gut one and put a pc motherboard in there. Sacriledge.

Putting an A1 Mobo in there would be scariledge too... :-(



Yeah, but only in my second spare A1000, with the lower practically uselsess spec and slightly damaged case. I'll probably mod the case somehow to look like my avatar. Took a look on the internet for titanium, to bring off the effect.

An A1 board is the only upgrade that could do it justice. I'm keeping the other A1000 in pristine condition and when I move into my new place I'll have enough desk space to place them side by side.
