Now I'm Jealous of you Paul - messing around w/Ur old Amiga. But, yeah - I had an original A1000.
It had the 256KB Ram pack on the front of the machine. I got an Add-on Card in the machine w/more memory, then also an Add-on HD - which also had space for Memory modules. I remember I had it up to like 10MB - and it could go to a total of 16MB(Or - maybe - it was at 6MB - and could go to a total of 10MB). Its been Years since I played with that machine - then I sold it last summer. I had a bunch of graphics programs for it - including several 3D Apps. I may have had other add-ons for it too. Before selling it - I thought I looked around on EBay and didn't find people selling it for a lot - so I only got like $300 for it. Which included several Books and SW.

So I resurrected my Amiga 4000 this year as a bit of a project. I replaced the PSU fan (loud!) and installed a CF<>IDE adapter (cheap - about $15). She's now quieter than my PC (A4000 IDE is notoriously bad). There's a few things remaining: - Disk performance (I have SCSI). CF<>SCSI is $$$ - Better networking - using serial PPP to my Windows PC now. - I'm struggling with 16/24 bit graphics modes as my monitor goes out of sync. Can you believe I learned Linux on this system? There were no distros at the time so I had to learn the hard way! p.s. If you really had an A1000 it's probably worth quite a bit. -- Paul [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/80838f1ca795b14ea1af48659f35166f1c1...@drexch02.corp.globetax.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
