Doc,
If you need TOS ROM's, memory upgrades, HD's, accelerators and the such,
go to B&C Atari Sales & Service, they have a great selection of items,
sometimes there prices are not always current, so if you see or don't see
something on their site: www.myatari.com then give Bruce or Cathy a call
at: 530-295-9270 (California) Tell them Curt sent you, they'll do right by
you! :-)
Curt

and I do have 2 A-1000s, a 2000 and a 3000. They are
anything but rare, just look at E-bay. They've also retained their value
better.
This one, a plain-jane 1040ST, is a Rev C m/b and has the original
6-chip ROMs with TOS v1.00. I made a bootdisk to boot into TOS v2.06,
which works fine at the expense of 256k of RAM, it's not a permanent
solution. Are the 6-chip ROM images for v1.04 available anywhere? I've
found the TOS ROMs here & there, but not the idividual chip images. Come
to think of it, are the ROM chips soldered or socketed? I looked while
cleaning it, and have already forgotten....
