- KwikstartII allows two ROM sets to be installed.
-
- Kickstart1.3 for the A1000 is a real product "enhancer software for
- the amiga", and a good KS disk should do as well as a 1.2 version.
-
- If you haven't already bought a lot of software, and aren't into
- going through the old games, why not skip 1.3 to 2.05 or to 3.1?
- In any case a Kwikstart is definitely needed;
