Well, obviously Peter should know what Workbench 2.0 will require but at the moment it *doesn't* require Kickstart 2.0 in ROM. The ROM is located on the HD (or floppy) and is loaded into a special place in fast RAM so my logical conclusion is that Workbench 2.0 doesn't require Kickstart in ROM. > Peter -- Bob The Graphics BBS 908/469-0049 "It's better than a sharp stick in the eye!" ============================================================================ InterNet: bobl@graphics.rent.com | Raven Enterprises UUCP: ...rutgers!bobsbox!graphics!bobl | 25 Raven Avenue BitNet: bobl%graphics.rent.com@pucc | Piscataway, NJ 08854 Home #: 908/560-7353 | 908/271-8878
