A Favour Returned

that is unbelievable.. Where do you have room for all this? your collection seems endless, it could easily be the Amiga Museum.

+1 for the A1000's and the GVP A530 turbo, two of my treasures. I grew up not far from CBM in West Chester PA and used to visit GVP in King of Prussia PA to pick up memory for my A530 many moons ago.

What do you think of the of possibility of connecting the A530 turbo to the A1000? I bought the DJBase rom connector for the A1000 a few years back and thought it might be possible to upgrade the A1000 w/ kick 3.1 and autoboot into WB 3.1 via the GVP A530?

I used to have the supra side car HD on my A1000 back in 1989, whopping 20 MB but it was great at the time.

Some photos updated on your site of the new treasure would be great to see!

Just curious because I read that the VXL030 wanted you to have Kickstart in ROM when used in an A1000. Maybe the A530 was designed the same way. Damn WOM/WCS getting in the way once again! lol

@ save2600 - I am going to install the DJBase adapter and go right for a 3.1 Rom. I also have the updated GVP Rom for the A530 that TJLazer just burned for me, so I'll post the forum if I have any success.

I can boot from the HD no problem with an A590 (20 MB XT drive!) with the kickstart disk. I think it would be a blast to a see an auto-booting A1000 with an 030 board. I want to see if I can get the GVP 286 card working as well.
