- Simple answer...look for a used A500 or A2000 instead. It's a bit easier to
- expand both of these systems than it is to expand the original Amiga (not
- saying that it can't be done...just that it's tougher to find hardware for
- it, and it's a bit more expensive than comparable A500/A200 hardware.)
-
- In fact, even if the price of the 1000 is a steal ($US250 or less), save up
- another $100 or so, and pick up one of the other machines, especially if
- you'll be interested in ANY expansion of hardware (and you will, believe
- me!)
-
- Good Luck to ya!!
