Jeff. You can also buy a little board from DKB or The GrapeVine group called the KwikStart II that plugs into the 68000 socket and will hold both a 2.04 rom and the 1.3 rom so that you can boot either operating system. it is listed on the December issue of AmigaWorld on page 114 fo $59.95. I installed one for a friend a few months ago and it worked just fine it does require replacing one of the PAL chips on the A1000's kickstart daughter so you need to do a little soldering or find someone who can, but installation is fairly painless. The PAL allows the A1000 to properly map the 2.04 rom into it's memory space as it is a 512k rom as opposed to the 1.3 rom which was 256k. // John Lemoine via AutoPilot 75320,143 \X/ Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
