- The story I heard, although I don't know enough about systems programming to
- confirm/deny, is that the 2.04 kickfile was specially rewritten to enable it
- to be Zkicked from RAM. Since a file copy of 2.04 ripped direct from the ROM
- doesn't work with Zkick, it seems to me that you'd need a similarly rewritten
- copy of the 1.3 ROM in order to be able to Zkick it. Talk to Commodore :-)
