am using DKB multistart w/1.3 and 2.0 roms on my A2000/040 system with 0 problems. worked first time. nice product and i'm recommending it for customers who want both roms in their system (switching over to 2.0 is something to consider if it will burn your bridges back to 1.3 – some customers don't want to be left with only 2.0). I wrote a couple little script files which let me have dual 'devs', 'libs', etc. directories. One script renames everything right to prepare for rebooting in 2.0 (I named the script, cleverly, ChangeTo2.0). The other script (for changing back to 1.3) renames everything back to what it was. My hard drive has some extra space taken up by the dual 'devs', etc. but it's worth it to be able to switch back and forth easily. BTW I did NOT reformat my drives under 2.0. Not necessary, at least with my trusty TrumpCardPro. Good luck with the DKB. I did hear there were some possible problems with it on an A500, but haven't heard any confirmation of that.
