Hi gents
Got an A1000 from a friend. Its really yellowed but its the good german one with kickstart 1.2 and 512mb ram! It works too..
the one amiga i dont know about is the a1k can u guys please help me with expansion and how the kickstart works ( i have a kickstart 1.2 disk are there newer or better ones?) It says its pal with sysinfo but looks like ntsc on my 1084... ??
Also looking for a1000 ram expansions and peripherals..
Congrats on getting your first A1000. It is one of my favorite Amiga models and the first one I owned back in 1987. I bought it used and struggled with the decision, as I could have gotten a brand new A500 for about the same money, but the used A1000 came with a 1080 monitor and an extra external 1010 floppy drive, plus it already had the extra 256kb RAM expansion to give it a total of 512kb of RAM.
Over the next year I spent a small fortune expanding it with a Spirit Insider 1.5mb RAM board, a DKB KwikStart Kickstart ROM switcher board, an AdIDE & Shuffle Board & a 105mb 3.5 inch hard drive.
Add-on's for the A1000 are very hard to find and cost more than their A500 equivalents, but you can use most A500 sidecar expansions on the A1000 if you raise them up and reverse them as the side slot expansion port of the A1000 is almost identical as the A500's side expansion port.
I might be willing to part with one of my A1000 expansion boxes from Supra, if you can talk me into parting with it. Did you get my invitation to come up to Big Bear for an Amiga visit in a week and a half from now? I sent you an email a few days ago.
Anyone else who lives close to the Southern Calif. area that wants to come visit the mountains over the April 2nd & 3rd weekend is welcome to join us. I think 2 or 3 other Amiga users are coming up that weekend.
