A few weeks back I was gifted a A1000 boxed with the original A1010 floppy, also boxed along with a 1080 monitor boxed. As soon as I powered up the 1080 it blew something and smelled bad. I got my Prevue SyncStrainer and hooked it up to a LCD monitor and the A1000 works fine. The A1k also smells like burnt electronics but functions fine. I dont know if its a ex-smokers machine and its been aired out or whatnot. But I'll disassemble it fully to give it a good cleaning.
I have a few questions since I've never owned a A1k. Do I always need a kickstart disk or is there a upgrade I can do that eliminates the need? What other mods do you guys recommend? Not looking for an accel. This will be something I use for gaming or retro computing fun.
