1662.0. "A1000 Memory Upgrade" by DPDMAI::MARASKY () Tue Sep 06 1988 01:47

    Unlike many of you fortunate ones that live close to an Amiga shop
    I live in the desolate corners of West Texas were the word Amiga
    is just now entering into the computer vocabulary.  I have one of
    the last A1000's that was built and I need to upgrade memory. I
    am in need of suggestions on which is the best bet for the money.
    I believe if I am correct that if I can attach it to the pass thru
    even though I have a Supra attached already or am I wrong about
    this.  Also can you tell me what the model is of the mouse and will
    the C64 mouse work?
    
    Thanks Don....

1662.1Supra & Starboard = No ProblemLEDS::ACCIARDIHeisenberg may have slept hereTue Sep 06 1988 09:1110
    
    I had a StarboardII and a Supra SCSI adaptor attached to my A1000
    for over a year with no problems.  However, the Supra insisted on
    being first on the buss.  Some people did have grounding problems
    with the Starboard.
    
    Good luck buying 256K DRAMS.

    re: rodent
    
    did your mouse die?  I don't know if the C64 mouse is the same,
    I believe that was a goal when they made the cheaper mouse for the
    A500/A2000.  Last I heard the C64 mouse came in couple versions,
    the original was joystick emulation, the next model was switchable
    between joystick and proportional.  Possibly proportional means
    2 pots, not the quadrature signals that the Amiga mouse sends.
    
    You might want to check the C64 notesfile for more details.

1662.3Can't use C64 mouse on AmigaBOMBE::MOOREWhere do you go when you're Toad Away?Tue Sep 06 1988 22:347
    The 1350 mouse is strictly joystick emulation.
    The 1351 supports both joystick and proportional modes.
    NEITHER will work as a mouse for the Amiga.
    
    I have seen a newer model (1352, I think) which does everything
    like the 1351 on C64/128 *and* works for Amiga too.  Price was 
    around the $60 range, about the same as a regular Amy mouse ($65).
