You know, everytime I have to setup a computer other than an Apple, I'm
reminded of just how lame every other computer is.
So I pull an Amiga 1000 off the shelf and proceed to set it up since I'm
making no progress with the 500 and time is being lost. It still doesn't
work with any of the video cables I have, but I was able to get a cable
splitter to connect the composite output to the inputs on the back of the
display. Now I have color. But, now I have no boot disk. The disk that
booted on the 500 won't boot on the 1000. I have a Workbench v1.2 disk
that works on the 500 and the 2000, but not the 1000. What a joke.
You know, there's probably a really good reason why Commodore and Atari
are gone but Apple is still around.
