Hahaha, I saw that auction too. Case badges are missing... wtf? Guy wanted to keep them for nostalgic reasons or something? Surprised he didn't keep the top lid too   ;)

Re: being a winner or loser... who knows? There might be a Phoenix mobo or Rejuvenator under the hood!   :laughing:

Well it's not too far from me in NC - it's in Arkansas. Who knows, good point...

I have these goodies that need to go into an A1000:

AdIDE
3.1 roms and Rom switcher
1 Meg Insider board.

Then again, I don't know if they are still working, all part of the mystery !

Trouble is trying to get all this stuff to work at once, is what killed my last A1000 (I still have it).

It's so trashed already, I could paint it some obnoxious color or something...

If you're offering up your AdIDE and Kickstart switcher up for sale, I'd be interested. Would probably take the memory board too... PM me if you're interested in letting 'em go please  :)

Perhaps if you bought one of these first from eBay then that A500 keyboard would look pretty cheap... :D

Luck of the Irish?   Isn't that Murphy's Law :) ?

There are still some very good deals on eBay. You just have to be careful...

Well, I have two really messed up A1000s, But there is some good news. I pulled the daughter board from the 11.50 A1000 and stuck it in mine. And at least now I get some ROM color error codes - WHITE!

White means the CPU has totally f-ing failed! That is an awesome improvement! That means there is a ROM working! Who cares about CPUs, get to that later...

Diagnosis: critical , with possibility for a complete recovery.

3.1 roms and Rom switcher


Is the switcher a DKB KwickStart II, that uses the 4 ROM setup? I was not aware that anything else would work.
