Actually a person CAN boot an Amiga 1000 directly from Powerup
to CLI/Workbench.

With a Harddrive.

No it isn't KS 1.3 or 1.2.1 or whatever it is.


Its the Comspec SCSI controller... Made in jolly ol Canada.  (Eh.... )

One of the guys in the User Group here in town has had one for 6 months
or so, and has ZIP problems with it.
its DMA, autoboots the system from powerup through Kickstart, to workbench
to startup sequence execution.
Its MUCHO fast.

Until just a short time ago, you could only purchase the
harddrive/controllor combination.
I called them last week, and they are selling the controllers
separately now.

their phone number is   (In Toronto....   1 416 785 3553 )
ask for Amiga products info...


note, I have NOTHING to do with Comspec.... i am passing on info.
