Indeed, but a nice novelty... :)

I do! :) I believe that there was a device called Kwikstart II, which
followed KwikStart I ;-). It supported two or three different ROM revisions
(I should imagine up to 2.04 perhaps), where it plugged in, I don't know!?.
It also allows more system RAM access. The last time I saw it advertised
was late 1996 for about $55 from DeVine in the USA. Perhaps a wanted
ad' on AmiBench or something might help?
Also, if you do get this thingy, try also getting an A590 with 2mb RAM on
board. It'll give you a 20mb hard disk and SCSI-I interface! Only thing is
that I think will plug in upside down! Then you'll want more than 256Kb of
Chip RAM, unless you have the 256K RAM pack... :)
The A1000 was a masterpiece, I wish I had one....
Yours
Nick.

It is better to have tried and failed than to have failed to try, but
the result's the same.
