I have an Amiga 500 with 3meg but it is the A590 disk drive.  Under the
current scheme ( read :> until OS 2.0 is in a ROM chip ), you can't load
the OS 2.0 on that machine.  HOWEVER; if you have expanded ram that is
FIRST in the AutoConfig tm  sequence you can use the A2000 enhancer scheme.

PS Amiga 2000 owners with all of their expansion memory on the A2091
controller card are in the same fix as the A500 owner.
