:Does this mean i could actually use a 1.1 ks disk and get 1.1 on my amiga?
:(500 2.5 meg) How about 1.3 (That'd be a little better) theni could auto boot
:from rad:... (That'd be cool)

	Not unless you have a 68020/MMU, a 68030 or a 68040 installed in your
500. You need the MMU to relocate kickstart in this way.

:actually i have a friend with a 500 and a new 3000 (He sold his car/soul)
:and he was complainig that he coulden't get the best use out of his 500
:because it was using 1.2 so Could ya put 2.0 on a 500 this way?

	It'll be much easier to just add 2.0 ROMs to the 500... Guess we'll
just have to wait. :-)
