What should I do?  I've been away from my Amiga for quite a while..
You know -- lots of toys at work, and I haven't wanted to play too much
after that..  Recently, though, I decided I needed to get some things
done at home..  Upgrade.  I thought about a new A3000, or a Sun
Workstation, but I finally decided that there was nothing that
particularly appealing without spending a lot of money.  I decided to
do nothing, but, all of a sudden I fell into a 40MB SCSI disk that I
picked up for $25.  The next move:  Upgrade my A1000 to drive this new
disk, and have it take me another year or so..  

So here I am.  I've got an A1000 wiht 512K, 2 floppies, and not
much else that's made one hell of a VT100 over the years.  My 
subscription to Amiga World has long since expired, and I'm way
out of touch with what's going on.  I'd like to buy a SCSI controller
to drive the disk, and perhaps provide some space to install additional
memory (I'd like to plug in SIMMS, if I could.  Am I dreaming?)  I could
get a copy of A-World, but, there'd be just ads, and I'd have to 
pick one randomly.  Can anyone make a recommendation on such a 
device?  A recommendation on where to buy it from?  An estimate of
the cost? 

As I said, I'm living in a floppy world..  Once I get this disk and
controller, I have NO CLUE how to set it up.  What level of system
software do I need?  Is this even possible?  Is it practical?  

In short, Help!

Any info appreciated..  If you can e/mail, that'd be good 'cause I
dont get much chance to wade through this group anymore.

Thanks!

	-Jeff
