Perhaps LIVE! was running out of memory when I was using it.
  If so
	The documentation with the product is wrong.  It clearly
	states that LIVE! runs in 512K.  Also the product is
	incorrectly designed.  The Amiga1000 is designed to have one
	(1) device at most attached to the side.  LIVE! plugs in the
	side, so it is that one device.  Insiders are not a
	recommended configuration.  (You had to void your warrenty to
	install your insider.)
  If not
	The product did not work anyway.  This only means that the
	bugs in the software were somewhere else.

Another possibility is that the version I got was an early production
unit.
  If so
	Any company which sells a product which clearly does not work
	is behaving unethically at best and possibly fraudulently.
	This is independent of whether the product is version 1.0 or not.
  If not
	I don't know what the problem was but it didn't work.
I recently sold my Amiga 1000 (the 2000 is on order).  I included the
LIVE! for free.  That's what it is worth.
