Yes, I have a Kwickstart board in my 1000.  It plugs into the 68000
socket and the 68000 plugs into it.  Some soldering is required.  It
has a 1.3 rom in it which is only 256K.  I called Michigan Software up
to see if they would come out with a 512K version (for WB 2.0).  I was
told politely that 2.0 would not run on the 1000.  Hopefully with
time they'll see that it is possible to have 2.0 on a 1000.

I really like the Kwickstart.  It frees up 256k of memory which can
be added in with addmem.  It also allows me to boot with KS 1.1
with a disk so I can run some of those old games.
