[comp.sys.amiga.tech] New Owners Stupid Questions

unicorn@world.std.com (Arthur P Hamlin) (08/06/90)

This is my first official posting, so please don't charcoal broil me.
I recently purchased ( through the net ) an original Amiga. And so far
the technical information I have been able to gather has been slim.

I desperately want to increase its power but don't know what is possible.
I have the following questions:

Is there any real difference between an Amiga (circa 1984) and an Amiga 1000?
If so, what?
The memory has been expanded to 512k ( ooooohhhhhh, aaaaaaahhhhh :^) )
How can I expand it to 1-4 meg?
I desperately need a hard drive ( 40+ ), how much can I expect to pay and is
there any problems putting one in ?
What speed is the cpu running at? and did/do Amigas come standard with a math
coprocessor? (it sure doesn't feel like it :^)) How much will a 68880 cost?
Is it worth the price to upgrade to a 2000? (I know, opionion)

Pleas mail any responses you have to unicorn@world.std.com as I am falling
behind on my netnews reading.

Thanks in Advance,
