The A1000 power supply was practically legendary for this. We've had power
failures where every machine in the building (VAXen, Sun, SciCards, Calay,
Amiga 500, 2000, 3000, PCs, Macs, etc.) went down, but not a single A1000 had
a problem. Now, these days, a good many of the A1000s simply sit in the
corner of an office running terminal emulators or video games, but they're
still quite amazing.
