- Yes, you can. Go to your dealer and has him for the 2.1 (or 3.1 - why
- not go the full way to a current OS?) update kit for the A500, which
- includes a ROM chip and new system disks.
-
- Depending on your electronic skills, have him install it or do it
- yourself (only screwdriver and chip-puller needed).

- WB 1.x displays only those files for which there is an .info file
- which contains the image used for the icon and the things you can set
- in the "Info" window (tool types, default tool, etc.).
