You may need to put the floppy guts in the A1000 if the internal drive
is TU, as it only boots off the inside floppy, called DF0: If it is
an A1010 floppy you're okay.
I believe the internal floppy is OK -- the
external floppy's eject button
seems to be broken somehow -- I haven't had time to look at it yet.
I do have the external floppy for my A500 -- will that also work with
the 1000?
You will need TWO disks -- Kickstart and Workbench, 1.3 was the latest
version that worked in the A1000. A third disk was supplied, that
also had Amiga Basic, ABasic.
I have Workbench 1.3 (shipped with my A500) but IIRC they
stopped shipping Kickstart floppies after the 1000. So, I'll need
some kind soul to clone me off a copy of Kickstart.
Nice little
bonus -- it also came
with the genlock slab, so I'll > eventually try to

Okay, just be warned that the clocking pulses for the Amiga come from
the genlocked signal, which means that a VCR with breakup in the tape
will hang the computer. A nice steady video signal is best. I think that was one of the old AMICUS disks, I think
I have it and
could make a copy.
Thanks. If you could do that and a copy of Kickstart, that would be
just swell.
