[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] Amiga 1000s, Mac emulators, and memory

ameiba@reed.UUCP (Keith Steiger) (02/03/90)

I own an Amiga 1000 with two disk drives and 768K (KickStart 1.2 in ROM).

I've heard people talking about Macintosh emulators, but I don't quite
understand what's involved.  Is it hardware, software, or some combination?
Do you need to buy something separate, like Mac ROMs or a Mac disk drive?
Can Amiga disk drives read Mac disks?  Can an Amiga 1000 that's already been
hacked handle the strain?  What would the bottom-line cost be?

I'm also interested in getting a little more memory.  Who still makes Amiga
1000 memory expansion stuff, and for what cost?

I'm not going to try to get a 2000 because I want to see how much the
computer world changes before I seriously commit myself.  Sooner or later, a
stable RISC microcomputer will come out.  Machines are getting much faster,
and I don't have the money to try to get continual upgrades.
