A cool thing about having the 1.3 Kickstart ROM (or I guess the 1.3 kickdisk
for you A1000 guys) is that RAD recovers and is automounted (at least the
Workbench sees it) even under 1.2.  Consequently, when you boot some weird
1.2 disk, RAD is still there.  

This has been useful for me because DPaint II has been giving me problems 
under 1.3.  I can boot the DPaint floppy, which works, and still have 
access to RAD.
