- If 2.1 requires the 2.04+ ROMS, you need the _software only_ 2.1 Enhancer
- kit (well, software and docs, no ROM) and one of the following:
-
- 1) Obtain a 2.04 SuperKickstart floppy disk and upgrade the 2.X Kickstart
- file on your Hard Disk. You retain the advantages and disadvantages of
- 1.3 boot capability. The cost of the SuperKickstart disk may be cheaper
- than ROMs too. However, they may no longer be available, now that the 3000
- ROMS have been released..
-
- 2) Install the A3000 2.04+ ROM. Don't purchase the 2.1 software + ROM kit,
- the ROM included in the kit is for A500/A1000(with adapter board)/A2000
- systems and won't work in your 3000.
-
- I don't believe 2.1 Workbench is compatible with pre-2.04 versions of
- 2.X Kickstart, but either of the options above should get you going
- with 2.1..
