I have an Amiga 1000 and an Amiga 4000 Tower. The Amiga 1000 has 512M memory, external floppy drive and Amiga monitor. I bought the Amiga 4000 Tower when it looked like it might be the last Amiga computer. When I got the A4000 Tower, I stored the A1000 in the original boxes which are white with full color graphics. I’m researching how to revive the 4000T and that’s how I found this forum.
I used the A1000 for many years. Before the internet, I accessed Bulletin Boards using the Genie dial-up phone network. I added a SCSI controller and hard drive. I installed the Rejuvenator Board which replaced a daughter board with one configured to upgrade the MPU to the 68030 – it worked great (it involved aligning multiple chip socket extensions).
I had the 4000 Tower on the internet with a browser called IBrowse and a dialup connection. I added a 2nd floppy drive, video board, and a Zip drive (100 M removable disks - the USB of its day). At some point I tried upgrading the kickstart ROMs and it hasn’t worked since (none of the ROMs have any markings).
I have software, floppy disks, AND Amiga magazines (I saved everything I bought for the Amiga). At some point I’ll look into selling my Amiga collection.
