One reason why I love the A1000 + clean up thread inside
Because the RAM expansions are massive! Check this out...
Escort 2 chassis... http://amiga.resource.cx/exp/escort2 Ooooh, what's this? But, where's the RAM board I here you cry? http://amiga.resource.cx/exp/escortram This is fully loaded with 2MB - 64 x 256k Now, I need to clean her up |

That would make a massive expansion! So and the second slot is for what, another 2mb Escort RAM expansion, totaling 4MB? |

In 1987 this thing cost $lots with one card - not sure if that's fully populated or not When attached to my 1000 it towers over it... like two stacked on top of one another! It's crazy I had to beg an eBay US seller to let me have this as he wouldn't ship to Europe originally.... I fell in love soon as I saw it. The board is made like a tank!

I hate potatos and shirts

I think with this beast hooked the A1000 will become tower: it will turn on the right side due the weight of that beastie.

Ah, the good old Zorro I form factor, that didn't really see much success. ;-)
Anyone hazard a guess why the Braunschweig guys changed the form factor when they designed Zorro II? Last edited by Jope; 05 February 2010 at 08:19. |

OK, first job of the evening was to remove the broken guide rail and old glue...
Removed the broken rail then soaked the glue pad in Autoglym Intensive tar remover and came off pretty easily after that Washed the Zorro slot PCB which is now drying (I'm leaving the ram board alone as it is not dirty!) Now to tackle the rust! |

Sysinfo v3.24 has my 1000 down as fast as a B2000 now faster than a stock A600 anyway... true fastRAM rocks
Weird thing is Sysinfo says the board is Zorro II! It's nice how my 1000 still works - it's in the 24th year now! |
