There is a conference I did here over a year ago. It may be a little dated. Amazing printed the conference, so its the same thing, maybe slightly reduced. I'm not sure where it is now that things are reorganized. Normally, the Agnus is included at the $499.95 suggested list price. ROM is extra, as without it, Kickstart disk mode works as before. You also get 1 Meg of RAM at that price. Versions may be available without RAM. There is an A2000 video slot subset that works with the MicroWay flickerfixer. There is the same clock chip & battery as used on the A2000. Installation is fairly complicated. YOu have to completely disassemble the A1000 to install the Rej. There are no cuts or jumpers required, only three clip leads need be attached. For the person not mechanically inclined, Expert performs the installation for $35 plus shipping and extends the warranty from 90 days to a year. So far, with PALs, we have gone beyond the 90 day warranty as they have changed. I generally make some sort of announcement here on CIS when there is a major change. With 2.0 comming out, there should be a lot of 1.3 ROMs floating about. The 2.0 Enhancer package should contain a minimum of the ROM and disks, so you can buy those directly. The Rejuvenator is designed for 2 meg of chip ram, and upgrades will be available shortly. It also will work with the ECS Denise, available from Expert Services for $60, I believe (Only available to Rejuvenator purchasers due to contractual agreement with CBM). With a normal installation, you reuse your existing PAULA and Denise chips. In that case, you can use your standard monitor that you use now. If you purchase a deinterlacing card or use the productivity mode of the ECS Denise, you need a multiscan monitor. A multiscan monitor is available from $450 or so, depending on quality, name brand, where bought, etc. You will need a special cable buffering HSYNC and Vertical sync to produce a tear-free display in productivity mode (for the 23 pin RBG port). Any standard genlocs that plug onto the 23 pin RGB port will work ( at least several have been tested and found to work).
