Regarding current software support for the A1:
I suggest you type the name of the programs you are curious about into the search engine
at Amigaworld.net. Read the threads concerning those programs carefully. If one person
indicates success running a particular program on an A1 while another does not, please
consider that the program likely works, as much done to this point has been a direct
result of personal experimentation.
Also remember that some software will function while its associated hardware component
will not. An example here would be hardware that uses legacy parallel/serial ports.
Some work, some do not.

Best Wishes,

@Chris

Concerning compatible software:Perhaps we could agree that research should be done then in
more than one place.
Example1:Turboprint is a valuable utility that is not currently mentioned at IntuitionBase.
Yet it is mentioned a great deal at Amigaworld.net.
Example2: Since submissions to IntuitionBase may or may -not- be updated, a potential area
for misinformation may arise. If the original information submitted referred to compatibility
under update2 of OS4 and if that compatibility -changed- under update3, what conclusion would
the reader reach from reading only the information at IntuitionBase? Therefore, I believe it
would be wise to follow up any reading elsewhere with a check on threads (by date) at Amigaworld.net,
to help keep up to date.
