Larry, I just wanted to thank you for your original answer.
I was the one who started this subject thread about 3 weeks ago. You
were the first to answer, who told me that this combination works..
I asked this because a friend of mine wanted an A590 for his 1000.

Today, my friend bought his A590, installed 2MB of RAM ( at $200 for
2MB worth of chips, 16 of them ), stuck the drive in, and turned the
machine on.

It worked simply great, and autobooted right after kickstart finished
loading!

We neither had to saw the metal plate, nor cut plastic from the A1000
box. it simply stuck perfectly ( with the back of the drive facing us
ofcourse. ).

Now we only have to put a mirror behindthe drive, so that we can see the
drive's LED ;-)
