I want more than 2mb Fast RAM on my A1000...how?

There are several options to get over 2Mb. You can use two Starbaord II units - they work fine together to get up to 4.5Mb.
Also most A500 side expansion unit work fine on an A1000 - They just need to be supported (stick a book under them).
In the past I had a GVP A500+ connected to an A1000 with 8Mbs of RAM and a 120Mb hard drive (fair sized back then) and it all worked great.
I have read about a newer expansion, that adds an IDE interface and 4Mb of RAM, but I don't know who is behind that (can anyone add that info?).

I have a VXL*030 accelerator with 50mhz 030, 25mhz '882, 8mb RAM, and Kickstart 3.1.

Drumroll please....

It WORKS in the A1000! Thing is, you have to remove the daughterboard and internal floppy. Removing the daughterboard and bending (or snipping) its pins off is NOT something I want to do though to my A1000. Kinda nostalgic about the internal drive too. Sooo... am thinking about selling this to someone that doesn't mind a little hack and slash in their diet.  :lol:

I don't want to hack up my A1000 ether, so I agree with you. I use the A1000 mostly for older games, so the 2.5Mb works fine. I do manage to use SuperBase 4 Pro, and DPaint III on it, along with some other "serious" software. If I can find an inexpensive GVP sidecar hard drive, I would dive for that. I actually had one, but in a moment of stupidity, I sold it. That was long ago though....
