The "video hack" for A1000s appeared in Amazing Computing Vol2 #7, and involved
changing some resistors to improve the color balance.

By the way, while we're talking about hacking amigas, I have also grounded
my PAL chips, added a filtering capacitor in my starboard, and performed the 
1080 monitor hack to fix the interlacing-offset and audio.  I have also
squished the vertical height and superglued a piece of ferrite to the end
of the horizontal coil in the 1080 so I can see the 671/470 wb screen.  Yes, I
love having a HACK-able computer!
