- This works on my 3000 using a 1000 kickstart disk, but doesn't find any
- expansion memory, cards or the SCSI controller. Also doesn't survive warm
- boots. It only works under 1.2 and 1.3. I was trying to get 1.1 going, but
- no luck. I suspect it's incompatible with the 68030 as 1.1 works on my 68020
- 1000.

- I haven't seen this :-)
- just the usual 1.3 boot screen

- I have mine working fine. If you name your partition WB_1.3: in hdtoolbox
- and boot 1.3 from floppy, the partition should be visible. Make sure it
- already has a devs directory and run the program you mentioned above to
- install kickstart on the partition. You can make it FFS and should install
- the FastFileSystem which comes on the 2.04 install disk. The setclock
- program won't recognise the clock, but there is one which works on 1.3 disks
- shipped with older 3000's. Maybe if you're lucky the 2.04 one will work but I
- haven't tried it.
