Peter, Thanks for your information. I have the 26x0_F.lzh, I currently run SetCPU 1.5 (it has a neat feature which stops the clicking in my external floppy drive). If I decide to run with the kickrom, I will download SetCPU.lzh (this contains SetCPU 1.6 right??). I'm especially grateful for your insight on the amount of chip ram used by the kickrom process. After reading your message I may decide to bypass the A2620 and run my system in 68000 mode until the -6 roms are available. I do have 2mbs of fast ram which is not on the A2620 (I scavenged the MicroBotics StarBoard-II from my A1000), so I could have an effective, but slower system, with the 2.0 rom installed, and a full meg of chip ram. This would also relieve of the need to pull my 1.3 rom, install the 2.0 rom, dump the kickstart code, pull the 2.0 rom, then reinstall the 1.3 rom which would be replaced (by the 2.0 rom) when the -6 roms for the A2620 arrived. I was hoping to, but have not yet found anyone around here (Vallejo Ca. / SF Bay Area) who will let me dump the rom from their machine. Most of my friends don't have 2.04 yet because the dealers sell out as fast as it comes in. Most people, including dealers, don't know about the kickrom solution. I know because I've asked. Well, I have some decisions to make. Thanks for you information, Versia
