I am about to buy an amiga, but don't know which one to get. I can get a used 1000 with 512k, second ext. drive and genlock with some software for about $500. I can also get a new 500 for 600. I want to use the system to play with video productions(i.e. genlocks, frame grabers …) I have a mac+ for most of my other needs but a mac II is just overpriced. Also I have always wanted to play with an Amiga. Will the 1000 suit my uses. I know I will have to add some memory. Local store(bit bucket in boston area) says I will need about 2MB. Any comments on the above questions would sure be helpfull. mark falk
