Small update.

The USB/Ethernet part had to be exchanged, they were not fully functional.

Complete setup now is:

- A1k w/ Phoenixboard, 2MB ChipRAM + SCSI, SCSI-Hack
- KS 1.3, 2.1, 3.1, 3.5 (3.1-Exec-Patch by Piru) selectable by switch
- Derringer 030 @ 50 Mhz w/ 32MB RAM
- Video-Converter (Electronic Design Germany) (S-Video)
- HD-Floppy Disk
- ICD Flicker-Free Video 2
- Hypercom 3+ (Hi-Speed SER & PAR)
- Delfina Lite (Sound)
- Xsurf4Phoenix (Ethernet)
- Subway (USB)
- 80GB Festplatte (2,5" IDE)
- Pioneer Slot-In DVD-Brenner

For pics, see:
A1k.org

You now can see a bit more of modification because of the slim slot for the DVD, but, hey ... Pics of that mod will follow.

Hope you like it,

Very impressive indeed.

I'm a huge A1000 fan (it remains my single favourite computer of all time) and I've often thought about joining a1k.org but I wasn't sure how welcome I'd be given that I'm not fluent in German. I also have something that I think may be of great interest to a1kers. It's my notes from the first Amiga Developers Conference held in Monterey, California in 1985. Its especially interesting as many of the notes are handwritten as the proper notes hadn't yet arrived from the printers. Here are some photos:





Sorry about the quality. I'm a lousy photographer. You can't really make it out but the little thing at the bottom is a spare bouncing ball logo as was found on the first run of Amiga 1000s.

I wonder what that lot of rare Amiga history is worth...

Please excuse my following up my own posting but I've registered (near as I can tell) at a1k.org. My inability to comprehend German makes it difficult to know for sure. I received what I assume was a welcome message and I responded. I hope this works out.

I looked at the frankenthousand. I don't think this is a Phoenix 1000.  I think this is butchered Rejuvenator 1000.  They are apparently an order of magnitude rarer than the Phoenix board. I think because they are more fragile.

There are two more here:

Rejuvenator 1000 #1

Rejuvenator 1000 #2

Awesome A1000!!!

I hope that my GB A1000 project will turn out half as well as your A1000 has.  Your Phoenix board is the original design that was part of the production run of 50 boards a few years ago?  Or is your Phoenix board one of the originals?

@Terse

Yes, the Frankenthousand is a Rejuvenator.

Soory if I left you with the impression it might be Phoenix - 1000.

Have fun,

@amigadave

The GB-1000 will be even more impressive. It two or three generations more advanced, plus offering lots of modern manufacturing technologies.

I whished I had the time to join this project, but I will rtaher spend the time with my kids. I have the Paladin to play with, after all. Might not be worst A1000, so it isnt too bad.

This particular board is one of the "newer" boards from three years ago. It does feature the SCSI-hack and the modified driver. We still seek permission from the original author to publish it. Since I earlier bought an other Phoenixboard with this driver, I presently am one of the few legally own this driver. The GB-1000 doesn't need it anyway, though.

Have fun,

If you get lost, try the international section. Most folks are quite helpful. Please be aware, that there are no new GB-1000 to be bought presently, if thats what you are after.

The GB-1000 is a *complete* DIY-project.

Have fun,

Will do.

Yeah, I know. I didn't get in on the order for boards because I don't have the skills to make such an item (I'm software, not hardware). Who knows though, I might find someone interested in making a buck or a thousand.

And for those sections that are not available, you could try and view the site via translate.google.com . It's machine translation and thus far from perfect but it sometimes can help a bit.
