I've come across AMOS and Blitz, I guess my question is, are they useable without a HD?
I don't know about Blitz, but AMOS is certainly usable without a hard drive. You might find a second floppy drive will ease the pain a bit (and these can usually be found cheaply enough). Certainly when I used to use AMOS, I couldn't afford a hard drive of any sort!
Or, if you're into really "old skool" BASIC programming, there's a very good emulator for the venerable BBC Micro, simply called "The Emulator", which you might be able to track down second hand. However, this restricts you to using features from the Beeb rather than letting you do things with the Amiga hardware like you can with AMOS.
If you're considering a hard drive, you may even find it cheaper to get an A600 or A1200 (2.5" HDD interface is built in on both).
