- While we're on this subject. Does anyone know if it is possible to place
- a 2.04 Kickstart image onto a Kickstart floppy? I thought of trying this
- to boot my old A1000 under 2.0 just to see how it would look. My A1000
- doesn't have a ROM chip or hard drive (yeah, it's ancient!). I tried to
- do it with an old program called "KickBench" which allowed you to create
- a boot disk with WB & KS on one disk. It changes a KS disk into a WB disk
- (which has a file called "kickstart" on it. I then copied the 2.04
- Kickstart onto it, then changed it back to a KS disk. Needless to say, it
- didn't work. This would be a cool little hack if it could be pulled off,
- just for fun). :-)
