Well, I'm getting ready to get a better amiga, by jumping up to a 3000. This
makes me nervous: I've got quite a bit of software that might or might not
run under 2.0. I even kickstart 1.1 on occasion to run Marble Madness. Is
there any way of kicking a 1.3 kickstart disk on a 3000, say by playing games
with the MMU?

Or should I keep my aging 1000 and use ParNet to hook them together? I was
thinking of selling it and using the proceeds on a high-res monitor.

(why didn't you upgrade, they ask? I didn't have the money then)
