Just left our users club meeting where Greg Tibbs has demoed his
Rejuvinator card.  (see previous posting as to particulars).  He
brought a stock A1000 with his card in it and gave a very impressive
demonstration.  The machine booted up to the workbench screen (had 1.3
ROM on card), was running with Obese Agnus chip just fine, showed off
video slot that will accept Flicker Fixer or other video cards, had 1 meg
ram on the card plus the 256 on the motherboard (this was running with NO
front panel 256K memory expansion cartridge), Commodore OKI clock, and
a few other goodies (it even ran Diga :-)).  Board layout very impressive,
2-layed board.  Takes up slightly more space than the present daughter
board.  WILL work with the likes of the Spirit IN1000 memory card.

Greg said he will probably sell as a kit, but is unsure of the price
as of yet, but it will definately be an affordable way to continue
to upgrade the 1000.  

He will be at AmiExpo with working machines and boards, so if interested,
look for him up there (hanging with the guy in the Australian looking
hat with the Grateful Dead pin on it - me :-))

I think this will be a great benefit to those of us that still own
1000's and do not really want to buy a new machine.

Will keep posting as results develop as Greg does not have access to
UseNet (but he is on BIX).
