- Does any A500 owner out there use Progressive`s 040/500 board.
-
- I am thinking about buying one (28mhz 4mb version) and would like to know
- what owners of this board think about it. There are some questions I would
- like answered about it:
-
- 1) Kickstarts.
-
- It comes with 2.04 on board, I have 2.04 and 1.3 switchable, presumably then
- I can remove my board replace the 1.3 chip and sell my other chip.
- I understand kickstart selection is in software, is it a hold down mouse on
- bootup method or what? Is the default ROM selectable or does it default to 2.x?
-
- 2) Processors
-
- Again how is the fallback mode handled. 2.x menu style perhaps
-
- 3) What do you think.
-
- How does your system perform against your friends.
-
- If you can answer these questions and tell me a bit about the board, what you
- think, have you had any probs could you please Email me at the address below.
- I may even post a kind of Specs Sheet/Review if I get enough material.
-
- Thanks for your help.
- Matt
