I have a chance to purchase a cheap Amiga 1000 with 512k RAM. If I buy
an Amiga 500 512k expansion card, would this work to give me an extra 512k
(1 meg total) as well as the clock? or will I have to buy A1000 specific mem
expansion? If this works, what other 500 (or 2000) hardware will work with
a 1000?

Also, what is this I hear about a graphics mode not available with the
1000? Is this fact or blatant rumour? Will it make a difference with
most software? with any software? 

Finally, will all software created for a 500 work on the 1000?

Roger.
