Hello All; I have been offered an Amiga 1000 with about 1.5 Meg of memory, 1 composite, and 1 RGB monitor, and I think only a disk (No Hard Disk). I know nothing about the Amiga systems so I thought I'd ask the net for assistance in determining if this is a good deal !!! I plan to use the A1000 almost exclusively for Video Titling but if I get it, I may find it is so interesting that I may use it for other things as well. I have heard that the A1000 is no longer sold but I am curious about what the approximate retail price of it was when it was being sold. Also I'd like to know if today's Amiga software (Ie. that designed for the A500, and A3000) will run on the A1000 ??? I'd also like to know of add-on boards and accessories can still be purchased for it ??? By the way ... I almost forgot ... the price of this A1000 which has been offered to me is ... $300 !!! Thank you very much for your assistance ... Tim W. Tim Dedula Internet: N.A.S.A.

I think this is a pretty good deal. I got my A1000 with 512k, one floppy, and color monitor for $625 a year and a half ago. Most of the software that has been written for the Amiga will work on it, with that much memory you could run almost anything. > >Thank you very much for your assistance ... > >Tim > >W.
