That's the sort of thing I was referring to when I used the word "upgrade". When I say I haven't done anything to it, it doesn't have so much as a single chip that wasn't in it when it left the loading dock at Commodore. (I've already bought a 3000, back in August. Hey, what's the word on this new warranty for older "professional" Amigas? I'm getting mixed signals.) I would have preferred an official 1000 kickstart disk, though, if you don't mind a brief foray into fantasy mode... -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' peter@ferranti.com +1 713 274 5180.
