Is there any SUBSTANTIAL reason to swap my Amiga 1000 with 2.5 megs for an Amiga 500? I have been noticing more and more companies not supporting the 1000 with hardware that is 1000 specific. Perfect Sound digitizer for the 500 is MUCH clearer than the version for the 1000, the 500 can have more chip ram(hopefully) and the Fat Agnus chip is always a plus. In addition lots of new hardware is going to be made for the 500 and its backward data bus :-) that just isnt going to work on the 1000. If it werent for the fact I can use my Starboard on the 500, I would have probably already sold the 1000. And the 2000 is out of the question, mainly because I have 2 IBM clones sitting on my desk here.

I've been trying to unload mine for the past four months, and I can find no takers. A1000 512K + 2M add-on + external disk drive + monitor + color dot matrix printer + 1200 baud modem + Manx&Lattice C + Lisp + Pascal + complete Fish Disk collection + other stuff. I've been asking $1200, would probably take $1K, is that unreasonable? I have not gotten so much as a nibble. If anyone is interested, it's still on the auction block.

I've tried to send mail to John Wilkes but I have gotten no reply. I have a friend who is VERY interested in getting an Amiga, 1000's included. He lives in the Bay Area; he would obviously prefer to buy from someone nearby. Anybody wanting to sell their Amiga, especially John Wilkes, please contact me.
