(That'd be cool) Not unless you have a 68020/MMU, a 68030 or a 68040 installed in your 500. You need the MMU to relocate kickstart in this way. :actually i have a friend with a 500 and a new 3000 (He sold his car/soul) :and he was complainig that he coulden't get the best use out of his 500 :because it was using 1.2 so Could ya put 2.0 on a 500 this way? It'll be much easier to just add 2.0 ROMs to the 500... Guess we'll just have to wait. :-) :-- :yorkw@ecn.purdue.edu Willis F York :---------------------------------------------- :Macintosh...
