- What do you think when you come into an Amiga newsgroup asking for an illegal
- copy of a copyrighted ROM? FYI, Kickstart ROMs are either 256K (V1.3) or 512K
- (V2.0 or higher) so you can rest assured that the rest of the 700 of 800 K file
- has been filled with a hard disk formatting utility by the kind Amiga users who
- sent you the ROM image.
