looking for A1000 kickstart disk
Hi everyone !
I´m new here, so please excuse me if I am posting in the wrong place! I just got my old Commodore Amiga up from my mothers basement. But to my horror all software was missing - as in thrown out -  I hooked it up, and it works as it should (to this point) So now I am in desperate need of a compatible kickstart disk. Think its v1.1 to 1.3 ? Please, if anyone out there can help me out or just give some pointers as to where I can acquire this piece of vintage firmware I would be in deep gratitude. As so I can go on with testing this wonderful machine. Thanks |

Hi hgrob and welcome to EAB!
Sorry, but you can only ask to buy an original disk here, so I've moved your thread to the marketplace section. Have a look here why : http://eab.abime.net/faq.php?faq=eab..._ks_wb_faqitem Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy your stay

I am aware of the copyright status, so I would think other users as well. Strange to automatically assume that I was talking about copied material. But thanks for your fast reply and welcome. I hope I have not unknowingly broken on any of the forum rules. If so, I apologizes.

Ah, okay
request.Apps is usually for software that isn't sold anymore (= copied material allowed).

Yeah, I understand the rules
 But I am not looking for a solution which would involve my pc. Vintage solution = retro experience. Is my quest a hopeless one ? Thanks anyway for taking the time to answer my questions. |

I don't think you can buy Kickstart disk anymore, and if you have real hardware that originally came with kickstart disk, like Amiga 1000, I would assume that you are entitled for a copy.

Without another working amiga or extra expensive hardware for the PC you have a couple of options only and one requires having a friend or local amigan with a working amiga and some way to get files from the PC or internet onto it. The other option is to purchase a working kickstart diskette.

quick question... does your A1000 have Danish keyboard layout, and if it does are the Danish special letters put on as stickers or do they look like the other keys?
