- Harold Herndon had the following to say about A500 and KS 2.04 Help Needed ..
-
-
- HH> I am going to finnaly upgrade from WB/KS 1.3 to WB/KS 2.1. I called to
-
- why not directly upgrade to kick 3.1 ?
-
- HH> order 2.1 and the sales person asked me for the Revision number of my
-
- kickstart and WB are 2 different things.. I believe you mean you want
- KS V37.300 (or v37.350) and WB v38 (2.1)
-
-
- HH> A500's mother board. She told me that since my MB is Rev. 5, I needed to
- HH> either by a ROM switcher or do a soldering job myself. I wonder if anyone
- HH> has the instructions to do this modification.
-
- Now this is weird ..
-
- I have an a5oo myself (rev 6a) but I never even worried about what revision I had
- and just replaced my kick 1.3 (v34.005) with the 2.0 (v37.300) and I did not need
- to make any modifications ...
- I also never heard of having to solder something when replacing KS Roms ..
