I'm probably the biggest sucker for throwing away the most cash on an A1000, but here is what you can do:

Expert Services Rejuvenator
2MB Agnus
Super Denise
Spirit Inboard 1000 w/ 1.5MB ram
Sapphire 68020
DKB Kwikstart II with 2.05 and 3.0 (I can load 1.3 from a floppy)
DataFlyer 1000 with a 540MB drive, split into multiple partitions, with 1.3, 2.05 and 3.1 all bootable. Other partitions for the software. I choose the partition to boot into by holding down both mouse buttons when booting.
External SCSI CD ROM using the DataFlyer

So if you have plenty of money to burn, you can burn it up LOL!

You are a ledgend!

Having said that, If there are any website links you could give me would be also nice, and would add to your tally!

Also, Im hoping I can get my external 1060 setup working, so that I have a harddrive to store the information onto. I was hoping that I can always have information onit, and basically use the hard drive to play games and use creation software.

If Im lucky, I might be able to retrieve a big enough graphics card for her, by chucking on one made for an A500, in the hopes that it fits!!

Also, that list is quiet impressive, I wouldnt mind doing a similar feat, can you help us out a bit in future regarding this?

P.S.So what are the limits of games and software programs you can use??

Thanks.

I did a lot of my upgrades before there was an internet, I think around 1990. This is the only Amiga site I've found (besides the common ones like the hardware site), but I'll look at the other one mentioned that is for A1000s. I'll try to help out if I can.

The final upgrade I bought for it is a CSA Derringer 50 in 1997/8. For some reason it didn't work, but I can't remember why. I think it was game compatibility. I love Deluxe Galaga and it didn't work with the 68030. I'm very knowledgable with PCs, but the Amiga is more of a mistery. I might not have put the 68030 libraries in the correct place. The CSA has my old 68000 in it, so it might work this time if I switch to that processor for compatibility.

Regarding sofware compatibility, no issues so far. I did have issues with an old game Pioneer Plague, but recently figured out how to "degrade" the ECS chipset to the OCS chipset so that even this troublesome game works fine. I don't have much other software, like rendering. I did buy a Lattice C compiler but never put it to use. I would like to make games, probably by using Amos.

Another cool thing with the Expert Services Rejuvinator is that you can toggle between PAL and NTSC modes.

I think the last thing I could do with it besides getting the CSA to work would be to get a flicker fixer. The Rejuvenator has a video slot allowing you to install a video card.
