Set my #Amiga 1000 up again. Using this IKEA stand to lighten the load of the monitor on the case. I have a #Parceiro II hiding on the side for memory and mass storage but I’ve yet to swap the PALs for kickstart in ROM. Until then, it’s still a quick boot from floppy.

That looks really lovely. I didn't know IKEA made those stands in different heights.

@RetroWizzard Thanks! The IKEA stand comes as two parts which can be used together or independently. https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/vattenkar-laptop-monitor-stand-birch-80541565/

@paulrickards @RetroWizzard thank you for this. i've been looking for a stand that could house my MT-32 and SC-55 together - that looks like it will fit the bill!

@paulrickards @RetroWizzard Hmm, looks like an Amiga 500 or 1200 would fit under there too!

@paulrickards Awesome monitor! Looks like it was made to go with an Amiga 1000 🤩👌

@Datassette_User It absolutely was! It’s the first monitor sold to go with the Amiga 1000 at introduction.

@floppydays That's great! You're the first person I've met that also has a Commodore 1070 monitor :)

Oh, a 1070 monitor. Rare bird indeed. The dot pitch on those is reportedly much nicer than the 108X series monitors.

@paulrickards I have an Amiga 500 if anyone is interested. Needs a boot disk.
Show threaddanjmcsApr 25, 2023
@paulrickards Love that stand! The P2 is such a great device, really enjoying mine and the boot is so quick to either of the 3 OS versions. I've had my A1000 since the late 80s and it just makes me smile every time it boots up and quicker than ever these days.

@danjmcs Nice! It’s a great piece of kit. I’ll eventually get around the swapping the PALs around for kickstart ROMs.
