Amiga 1000 Not Booting to Workbench

[Acill]

Holy crap! That's one of the original A1000 units with the boing ball before the commodore check! Clean it and the problem is in fact that floppy. You need a disk with kickstart that boots first and then as long as you softboot it will stay resident, then you can boot a WB or game disk.

Contact me in a private message with your info and I can mail you out the proper disks. I have an extra set of version 1.3 A1000 disks from way back that still work.

an amazing find!  around here we usually hope to find old dodge charger daytonas or superbirds in old barns, but what you found is what i would wanna find, other than a '69 charger.

not sure i would even bother with that keyboard, i would be afraid of it causing issues with the main unit.  but i would definitely remove the case and start cleaning out the system.

i think alot of us wanna see whats inside also

but otherwise, a great find!  she will clean up pretty good!  i would proudly put that old war horse on display!

i just repaired another A1000 to add to my collection and I have another one in line for repair, I love the A1000, was my first Amiga back in 1987.  you can never have too many A1000s!

good luck!

Yes you can have to many A1000's because I have been trying to find a working clean one for years and everyone sucks em up to put on a shelf or store in a garage out of greedy hording issues!
