I used a smiliar setup A1000, MiniMegs 2 meg fast ram 512K chip ram and 4 floppy drives and the Amiga 1300 Genlock to do all that. MY pc friends loved the sound capabilities and the fact that I could :

Play mods while:
1) running DPAINT 3
2) Word Processing
3) Visit BBS sites
4) Display full motion video as the workbench background. This blew their minds. For instance I'd be on a world processor screen I'd pull it down halfway or 3/4 and watch videos from my VCR while typing as the workbench backdound displaed the genlocked video while the processor screen was overlayed on top and 100% opaque.

The onlything that wierded them out was the "Slap on the side" expansion of the A1000's design. I agreed... heck apple was able to put slots in a wedge design case.
