I had an Amiga 1000...

Two things I really remember on it...

One: It was the first machine I had that could multi-task... You could start formatting and disk and df0 and then it would give you the command prompt back... You could then start formatting another disk in df0.... You then went through a process of manually swapping disks as each track formatted! 80 Swaps later both disks were formatted...

Two: The Amiga 1000 was unique because it kept the OS in its own separate memory from the programs running on the machine... I think it was about 384K... With a write-up from Popular Electronics I was able to re-wire and solder a part of that memory into the program space making my Amiga 1000 have more memory then most for programs.
