Box 2007 Upper Darby, PA. 19082-0507 (215) 446-9227 2/7/90 Official Press Release ***** Official Press Release 2/7/90 Attention A1000 Amiga Owners!! Install the forthcoming Enhanced Chip Set and Kickstart 1.4 in your A1000!! That's right! How many of you were delighted to hear about the amazing abilities your Amiga would possess after having the ECS installed? Having 1meg of Chip ram, Non-Interlaced Hi-Res, and several new Video and Genlock modes. Then only to have your heart drop when you learned that the ECS could only be installed in the A500, A2000, and A2500 models? Or the new Kickstart 1.4, which cannot be loaded into the A1000 without using additional memory. We didn't like the news anymore than you did. That's why we created the DVS-Wonder. What will it do for me? The DVS-Wonder allows you to enhance your A1000 with the following: 1. 512k or 1meg of Chip ram on the DVS-Wonder. 2. Motherboard memory converted to Pseudo-Fast ram. 3. Use of the Fat or Enhanced Agnus. 4. Use of the Enhanced Denise. 5. Software select one of three Kickstart roms; 1.2, 1.3, or 1.4. 6. A2000 compatible Clock, with battery backup. 7. A2000 compatible Audio Filter Switch. 8. Reduces problems with external expansion devices by suppressing bus noise. What about compatibility? The DVS-Wonder replaces the Ram/Rom (Kickstart) daughter board in the A1000, and is the same size and shape as the original daughter board. Thus providing 100% compatibility with any other internal expansion products you might have. All known ECS compatible software works with the DVS-Wonder. Why should I buy the DVS-Wonder? The DVS-Wonder will secure the investment you have made in your Amiga 1000 system by providing 100% compatibility with the newer Amiga models. Plus, you can continue to use your current expansion bus peripherals. You retain the ability to use different Kickstart versions for compatibility with older software. In addition, you can switch off the Audio Filter to enjoy the full stereo output of your Amiga. And no longer will you have to set the system clock by hand. What is the cost? The DVS-Wonder is available in kit form or assembled.
