Thread: Amiga 1000 QUESTIONS regarding KICKSTART etc....
Chewieshmoo 02:37 2nd December 2011
Well I have not even seen an A1000 in person in many years but being the first Amiga I find it interesting.
Please excuse any inaccuracies as I speak only form memory off the top of my head. Now, if I recall Kickstart must be loaded from disk correct? Version 1.2 I am guessing? I know that beginning with the Amiga 500 Kickstart came built in on ROM right? So I guess my questions are:

1. Can higher versions of Kickstart be loaded into an Amiga 1000 or is it only a specific version?
2. Is there any advantage to the 1000's ability to loading kickstart, like loading say a hacked or altered version of Kickstart?
3. Is there anything else that can be loaded into a 1000 instead of kickstart that would allow the 1000 to function different or even emulate a different machine.
4. Can the 1000 be "upgraded" to a kickstart in ROM?


Also, any other plus or minus opinions on the 1000 compared to later Amiga's?

I am just fascinated about the first Amiga and appreciate all responses and comments THANKS!!!!!
