If I were to get an A1000, what upgrades would be a "must have" to get the machine to "respectable" standards. I will mainly use it for games and such. I'd like to give myself the time to explore the rest of the machine's capabilities as I didn't give it much of a chance in my younger years.
* There really are NOT any upgrades you will find these days, unless you use A500 expansion boxes.
What significant capabilities, if any, would the A500 have over the A1000?
* The A500 has newer chip versions, a ROM based OS, can house much more RAM, and there are upgrades that can still be found!
I have both machines (along with A2000, A3000, A4000T and A1200). If I had to have just one of the early Amiga, it would be the A500!
