In a nutshell, here are the steps I followed to get my A590 to
work on my A1000:
  1)  Ground the PALs.  (May not be necessary.  It was for me, tho.)
  2) a. Unpack the A590
     b. Plug it in (backwards, of course, so you can see the 
        configuration switches).
At this point, I kicked with 1.3 kickstart, and after a few
seconds, the A1000 booted from the A590 with 1.3.2.  It whines
a little, but so what.  It also floats about an inch high in the
air because the expansion connector on the A1000 is higher than
the one on the A500, so you may want to put something useless
under the A590.  A couple of Byte magazines should do nicely.
