Tell us about your Amiga 1000 experiences

The A1000 was my first Amiga, I bought it when KS/WB1.1 was just released and immediately bought Deluxe Paint and Archon. At the time only Electronic Arts was supporting the system. The Fish Disks were a godsend. It was probably the most expanede
Within 6 months I had Sold my C64, 1541, C128, 1571 and 1702. Scribble was a far better word processor than Paperclip.
 It was probably the most expanded A1000 anyone had ever seen with a Rejuvinator Board, KS 3.1, 4MB RAM (2 Comspec AX1000 Boards), SCSI Controller (Comspec SA1000) an External SCSI Tower with 2 Hard Drives, Yamaha CD-ROM and Syquest 88MB Removable Drive. I also had a Lucas 68020 Accelerator but never got it working.
 I used it A1000 until 1995 when I was forced to Switch to a PC because of the Software Company I worked for.

If I remember correctly 40MB HDDs (Seagate MFM 5.25" HH) were selling for approx. $800.00 CDN in 1988/89. At least that's what we sold them for installed in the store I worked for.

I did work for Comspec but at the 84 Wingold Ave. location, I was one of the primary Amiga Techs in the service Dept and also wrote device Drivers for the Comspec SCSI Controllers. Before that I was the Service manager at a computer store at Woodbine and Danforth Ave. I still have a Comspec SA1000 SCSI Controller but it's got new ROMs so won't work with anything below KS 2.0 I've also got an 2Mb AX1000.
