My A1000 is ALIVE!
« on: March 31, 2011, 03:33:52 AM »
I got it to boot to the WOM yesterday. Then I got the DKB Kwikstart II working tonight, with glorious 3.1 ROM screen!

Next to examine is the ICD AdIDE.

I am using the base board from my 11.50 ebay win and the daughter-board from my original A1000 (has special PAL chip on-board for DKB K.S.)

Stupid thing I realized was you must have a DF0: present in an A1000 to even get to the WOM screeen. The old MB, something was blown, but not the 68k, just had no life.

So, white screen of sadness, was really just white screen of dumbass.

:laughing:

Congrats!  I've been following your threads about resurrecting your 1000. I'm glad you figured it out.  Looks really nice too!

Cheers!

You did a nice job cleaning this up too. Those boards look brand new. Congratulations.

That is cool! Is it available. I read the qualifiers about the keyboard and memory management routines needing work, but it still looks like its going to be interesting.

Don't get too excited. TOS is about equal to Amiga DOS 1.0.  At least with Amiga OS you have access to lot of GOOD software.

Congrats!

I, too, have had the happy feeling just within the past 24 hours of reviving my A1000.  And from the looks of it, you're doing the same thing with yours as I am with mine: the Kiwkstart II (and thanks for the really good pic which will ensure I connect the proper wires to the proper pins,) the floppy drive port changer (shuffle board?,) and even the AdIDE.  The only thing I am doing differently is I have also installed the FastPALs, but I think the Kwikstart II and its PAL makes the FastPAL moot (and may also be incompatible.)

IIRC, the AdIDE works if it's installed under the Kwikstart II.  I do recall that the AdIDE must live under a CPU socket accelerator.  It happens to work very well under the Derringer in my A500, but there's no room for that stack.  Good luck!


And that KickTOS thing is sick.  And I don't mean like sick as in "cool," but "ill."  WTF??!!

excellent job. A1000 is one of the hardest to expand (besides cd32, cdtv..)
Better sorry than worry.

I have always thought the A1000 was one of the sexiest computers I've ever seen.  There is just something about the case and the look of the machine.  It was so un-IBM for the time.  The Mac seemed like a toy beside her in 1985.

I don't know who did this picture but I cropped it for my desktop so I could use it in my wallpaper rotation:

That, my friends, is a very sexy computer.  :-)

I thought the Amiga 3000 captured the sex appeal of the Amiga 1000 years later...


Again, congrats!
