[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] Advice on A1000 upgrade

rivers@bnlls1.nsls.bnl.gov (Mark Rivers) (01/01/91)

I have had an Amiga 1000 for a number of years now and am planning to
(finally) upgrade it. It currently has 512 kb of memory and two floppy
disks.

I am thinking of adding the following:

1) Insider II with 1.5 Mb of internal memory and battery clock/calendar.

2) Xetec Fastrack disk system with 52 MB Quantum disk drive.

Does anyone have any positive or negative thoughts on the above items
or alternative suggestions? I have looked in vain for any recent
comments on the net. Please respond via e-mail.   Thanks.

You might think about a 500 hard drive/RAM expansion--they are usable if you
turn them 180 degrees and raise the drive to match the height of the 1000's
expansion slot. The GVP Impact, for example, can accept up to 8 megs of
RAM...
