Can I ask one question for anyone who has ever seen the inside of an A1000 before...

WHERE IS THE DAUGHTERBOARD???

It's either missing alltogheter (which would explain why the system doesnt WORK correctly) or it is indeed a VERY RARE and early prototype of the A1000...

Yeah, scuzz.. you evidently havent seen the inside of too many A1000s...

I had 6 of them, and every single one had the daughterboard..

In this pic:

The board in the back is an aftermarket "A1000 insider" ram expansion.. The board near the front, is the daughterboard that cam factory on the machine..

It's possible that some revisions came with no daughterboard.. all of the onese I had were US sold NTSC machines.. All had the daughterboard..

So see if that board has a GARY (5719) chip..
