I know, I'm just kidding.  It's easy to get in a particular mindset when you're surrounded by other types of machines... Can't tell you how many times I've tried "copy #?" on a PC...

Good luck!

Cool!  I've got a Spirit Insider w/1.5MB of RAM in mine.  I love the old beast.  I had an AdIDE2 in mine as well.  I spliced the power cable that goes to the floppy to power the 3.5" hard drive.  Alas, I sold the AdIDE2 recently as I've got no time to play with the A1000 anymore!  {sob}

Hi,

     Sorry... Typed Insider, meant InBoard.  It's the InBoard 1000 which is RAM expansion and nothing but.  The Insider - wasn't that the replacement for the entire motherboard?

     This one was easy - two jumpers to two PALs on the Kickstart daughter board.  I did the PAL ground mod anyway, as I had lots of stuff off of the side.  Still works great, however the RAM is mapped into the wrong memory space and I can't get any kickloaders to work... drat.  As I said, not enough time to play anymore.

     I put up an A1000 keyboard cable on my eBay auctions in case you needed one BTW.  I know alot of people who have stretched the living snot out of theirs, I can't believe this one made it coming up to 20 years and it still looks great!

Hi,

     Yup.  The shields of all of my machines were removed and never put back in.  I spent too much time 'under the hood'.  8-)
