If my 1000 was in a runnable condition, I'd be seriously interested in this.


Now is as good a time as any to dig in and get it going :)


I have the motherboard and power supply (and the 256K front memory card is around somewhere) but can't seem to find the case or keyboard or the floppy, I even think I still have my boing optical mouse around somwhere. I no longer have a monitor for it.

I attempted a PC case mod a bunch of years ago that went wrong so I keep hoping one of those retro case projects (like the one for the 500 and 1200) will target the 1000 but alas I think the addressable market is too small for the effort.


Personally, I'd sell what you have (there's plenty of dead/sick A1000s looking for donor parts), and put the money towards a working A500 (if you still want an OCS Amiga).

The A1000 is a lovely museum piece (I have one also), but for actual use, an A500 is much more accessible and expandable.


Yeah, I've thought about it. A replica 500 is doable (new cases, FPGA that fits inside etc) and I've realized it would be mostly about playing old games and was just looking at the A1500 Mini case this afternoon. But... I will most likely just put together a Mister system at some point.
