You did a nice job cleaning this up too. Those boards look brand new. Congratulations.

That is cool! Is it available. I read the qualifiers about the keyboard and memory management routines needing work, but it still looks like its going to be interesting.

I have always thought the A1000 was one of the sexiest computers I've ever seen.  There is just something about the case and the look of the machine.  It was so un-IBM for the time.  The Mac seemed like a toy beside her in 1985.

That, my friends, is a very sexy computer.  :-)


Oh yes! The A1000 and Sun's pizza boxes. both really out shined the Mac. Small, compact, great Windowing systems in glorious color.

We should keep some early Mac models alive just as a reminder of how crude the were.

Then whenever a display of retro machines is set up we could put an A1000 next to an early Mac, point, and ask "Why?".
