Early versions of the program(s) that dynamically display these images were
CPU speed dependent.  The same problems would show up on an A2500/30 or other
68030 based Amigas.  They have supposedly taken care of this now.

Exactly.  You'll get a menu, which will ask if you'd like 1.3 or 2.0 booted
from floppy or hard disk.  You can only get this menu on a power-up, unless
you use some trickery to trash the MMU setup.
