Doc... you'll need an A1010 disk drive, the 8bit C64/128 disk drives (1541,
1571, 1581) will not work with the Amiga, different interfaces.

Well, I held off for a year and a half, but when the
A1000 hit $5 I
couldn't help it. I bought it.
Now all I need is a keyboard, joystick, and a clue, none of which
were available at Goodwill. I do have a display, thanks to Bill
Bradford.
Will a 1541 or 1571 external floppy be a good addition? Which?
ISTR that there's no reasonable hope of genning up a boot floppy on a
PC or Mac, right? So I need to find someone to dupe disks to get
started? Or <shudder> pay for them?
Anybody have a pile of spare keyboards & mice?
Doc
