  Well, you definately CAN use an A590 with an A1000, the only difference
   is that it sits backwards (but it has a nice backside :-) ) and you'd
   have to lift it up an inch or two.  I know a few guys in town who use
     one that way, and one of the Commodore people on the NET said was
(Damn, sorry about the centring... I though C was continue!)
unnoficially OK to do so.
 
Mine is about a year old or a little less, and I paid $1000 for it new.
Since then, I have made a few changes:
 
a) Threw away the ugly WD93028-SLOW drive drive, and replaced it with a
    28ms Seagate ST-157N-1, for 48M.
b) Added two megs of RAM.
 
It will also autoboot if you have Kickstart 1.3 
 
So, since the drive was $500, I'd like to get $1000 for it without the
RAM, firm.  I think that's fair given the new drive and the RAM.  Just
for comparison, the original drive ran 160K/sec, and the new drive runs
450K/sec.  Quite an improvment.
 
If your interested, let me know.  If not, at least let me know the mail
made it, I have my doubts.... 
 
Thanks,
Dave
