I think, but not sure, it's permanently. You can choose the Kickstart in the menu...
I'll probably one for me next month, I'll tell you
That is an internal expansion. It plugs right into the 68k socket. There is another card that has a similar name that is external but the one Eric linked to is internal.McTrinsic wrote:Thanks a lot!
Quite impressive.
I just wished there was an adapter to use these external cards in an 68k-socket.
Made a vid back in 2017 showing my A1000 playing nice with ACA500+ in my mancavedansalvato wrote: ...
edit: As McTrinsic says below, ACA500plus doesn't officially support the A1000 and a few people have reported it not working for them. So it's a small risk to purchase one. Sorry, I forgot to mention this in the original reply.
But the paralellport is the real issue, as a genderchanger is no problem. An adapter to make the paralellport useful is a bit more difficult. I've had about a week of searching now and I've found nothing.intric8 wrote:@Overmann
If you ever use the serial port (e.g. a WiFi modem) you will need a gender changer for that.
And yes, the A1000 is gorgeous. The keyboard is one of the fines they ever made in my opinion. It's small but super solid. I don't know the exact switches involved (I think they may be a custom blend for the thing) and I'm not sure who even made them But they are mechanical no doubt. Very nice and quiet, very linear and easy to type on. It's dreamy.
