[comp.sys.amiga] A1000 now user-supported?

Okay, the 3000 is out there, and the 1000 is officially unsupported.

However, I believe there are still thousands (?) of 1000s floating
around, and it will take at least 3 more years for these 1000s to get
physically unfunctional (I've got mine for 5 years, and no problem
whatsoever yet!).

So are we (1000 owners) stuck with whatever we have now?  Are there
any 1000 owner associations which are devoted to continue developing
PD software (utilities and games) that runs on unaltered 1000s with
AmigaDOS 1.3 or lower?

BTW, I heard that there will be SPARCs (12 MIPS) for around $4,000.  I
guess when my 1000 finally dies, I'll switch to a SPARC...

Don't flame me!  I NEED the MIPS to run Lisp programs!
