Tell us about your Amiga 1000 experiences

[Drummerboy]

For me the timing of this post is also perfect, as I just picked up my
first ever A1K last weekend. If anyone wants to sneak a peek,
here are some pictures :

And now I have an actual hardware project once more

Watching your A1000 pics, came to me any interesting diferent between the American Amiga 1000 and Europe Amiga 1000, and this is the Europe A1000 not have daugtherboard, the American A1000 has dautherboard.

If I remember correctly 40MB HDDs (Seagate MFM 5.25" HH) were selling for approx. $800.00 CDN in 1988/89. At least that's what we sold them for installed in the store I worked for.

Say did you work at Comspec on Wilson just west of Duffetin St?
I grew up in that neighborhood and spent endless hours in that store as a teenager just typing basic programs from magazines into the 64's and Amiga 1000's :knuddel:

All these years later and I still feel the excitement when I turn on my A1000 and constantly searching for the mythical Comspec SA1000 scsi side controller

I did work for Comspec but at the 84 Wingold Ave. location, I was one of the primary Amiga Techs in the service Dept and also wrote device Drivers for the Comspec SCSI Controllers. Before that I was the Service manager at a computer store at Woodbine and Danforth Ave. I still have a Comspec SA1000 SCSI Controller but it's got new ROMs so won't work with anything below KS 2.0 I've also got an 2Mb AX1000.

@ shaf

Awesome stuff! Those were the days eh. I went to the wingold store a few times but mostly spent my time at the Wilson Ave store.

So any chance you know where I can find a SA1000 for my beloved A1000:D
