New here, getting feet wet.

Hello from SoCal!

Evidently auto-register from Tapatalk will get you banned, until you get it sorted with the admins that is.

Now that I'm 'legit' I'm looking forward to getting what I can out of the site/forums!

Thank you to the admins!

I only recently came into owning an A1000.

I don't know anything about identifying these machines, I've got a keyboard but no mouse, and no floppies.

I do evidently have the "ram" in the front bay and a "piggyback" board on the mainboard.

An external 3.5" was included and a DigiView which I understand is a NewTek still-imaging device, I recently saw the stand and digi-droid on hardware eBay for ~$120.

From what I gather I should at least be able to get booted if I can manage to make myself a kickstart disk, but to do that I need a booted amiga. Bit of a chicken and egg.

I received a GoTek and purchased an HxC license so I think I'll be able to make my way through flashing that, getting the kickstart and workbench floppies loaded, then loading the appropriate tool to write out a holy kickstart disk.

Any tips on this quest are welcome.
