I too would like to know how much it will cost to adapt my amiga 1000 with an
SCSI drive??? Is it better to get an SCSI adapter? Or should I go for a
different type of drive??? SCSI are abundant arent they? ARe they limited
by speed or something?

Here is what I would like to do (what are my chances?):Expand my amiga
1000 to 1 meg of ram (chip ram? Can it be done without alot of rejuvenation?)
and add a 20-40 meg hard drive. Can I do this for 600$ or less? I know
someone who said they could get me a 40 megabyte hardrive (SCSI) for around
300ish. Is that good? Would a 20 meg be cheaper? How much? Should I buy
Starboard II and get the SCSI adapter for it? Could I do that and buy a 
20 meg for under $600 (or 650$?)? 

Please answer these questions if you could for I REALLY want to produce useful
public domain software, but I am limited right now by my low memory small
disk size 1000. I don't need alot of hard drive space, just enough to develope
on. I'm a dying breed of 1000 users, and I won't be getting a 3000 until I
gradiate from college. (from my spelling of graduate, that could be a long
time :> please reply in comp.sys.amiga
