[comp.sys.amiga] Hardware choices for 1000

slc@hoptoad.uucp (Steve Costa) (02/03/89)

I'm selling my A1000 and Zorro I memory expansion to a friend. I'm
keeping the monitor for use with my 2000. I have two questions
regarding hardware acquisition choices for my friend:

   1. What is a reasonably good cheap monitor? I see a Thomson
      monitor advertised in the $250-300 range, but I know nothing
      about it. Is it decent? Are there other monitors of reasonable
      quality in this low range?

   2. He will want to get a hard disk someday. Since the memory
      expansion (by Pacific Cypress, now called Pacific Peripherals
      I think) is Zorro I, and sits in a two slot box, he will
      (I assume) need to get a Zorro I hard disk card. Does anybody
      still make them? If instead he has to extend the bus to another
      box, is it easy enough to fix the bus noise problems that
      I've heard about in the A1000?

Thanks for any help
