Yeah.  Some of us DO have some money tied up (read: locked up) in A1000
specific devices.  Though I believe I can use my hard disk with an A2000
if'n I get a different controller?

I have 2MB of external memory from Expansion Technologies, a Supra SCSI
controller, and a Seagate 80M HD.  How much of THAT can I use with a 2000?

I had visions of (If I ever found the time and the gumption) to make an
attempt at my own OS on the A1000, with my own kickstart.  (I just thought
about it, don't even know if'n that woulda been feasible.)  Can't do that
on a 2000 with a ROM.
