Amiga Multitask

[JimS]

I only wish i had an Amiga 1000 :-) it looks like a nice machine. Are any of you lucky enough to own an Amiga 1000?

I still have my original A1000 purchased new in 86 or so.... it's resting in it's box right now. ;-) retired after years of service.

Do you ever power it up to see if it still works

Not lately. I do remember that the internal floppy was dead. I used a HD and external floppy to run it. I found a second 1000 at the Goodwill for 7 bucks with the intent to salvage the drive... but when I tried that one out, and it worked, I couldn't bring myself to gut it.
My 2000 is also retired.... but it lives on as an HD image for UAE.

The Amiga 1000 looks nice. Don't forget you have to load the OS first, no rom.
Also upgrades are minimal.

The ROM thing was easily handled with 3rd party upgrade boards. I had a DKB Kwikstart in my 1000.
