==Introduction to the A1000==

The A1000 was the first Amiga released to the public.
The A1000 was quite a basic model, and there were two different models. One was an NTSC model, which didn't feature the EHB modes (64 Colours) which appeared later on, the other was a PAL model, which featured the EHB mode.
The A1000 was replaced by the [[A2000]] and the [[A500]] which both featured Kickstart in ROM

Until the release of the [[A2000]] the A1000 was simply referred to as the '''Commodore Amiga'''

The A1000 features a different Kickstart system to the other models in the Amiga range.
It has an 8kb Bootstrap ROM which then in turn loads Kickstart off a Kickstart floppy disk that you insert. This Kickstart then gets loaded in to a special area of WOM (Write-Once-Memory). This area of memory is only 256kb and therefore only Kickstart versions from 1.0 to 1.3 are supported.

The only other Amiga model to feature a similar Kickstart arrangement was early [[A3000]]'s
