I've had an Amiga 1000 and a Supra 20 meg for about a year and a half
now and aside from an outdated boot disk, it's pretty good.  Although
I've had major problems formatting the sucker.  Supra instructed
me to remove all of my peripheral devices while formatting.  Bad news.
Supra does not have autobooting for the 1000 planned.  There are
two possible solutions.  1) You could install a 1.3 Kickstart Eliminator
and leave your bootbench disk in df0: or, 2) You can buy a 2000 expansion
gizmo and buy a 2000 SCSI card w/ autobooting.  I'm currently using 1)
because I don't want to shell out the money for an expander when I
fully intend to buy a 2500.
