The German computer magazine "Amiga Special Extra" reports in its
2/91 edition, that there is an incompatibility between Kickstart 2.0
and the A2630.
The reason is that both Kickstart 2.0 and the A2630 Rom-Bios start
at the same physical address $f80000.

My questions:

- Is this true ?

- What is Commodore going to do about it ?
  Will there be a fix or update ?

The computer magazine also reports about a company in Oldenburg, Germany
who sell a new A2630 bios version that is located at address $f70000 and
also contains an improved boot menu.

- Is this the official workaround for the problem ?


Thank you,

Holger Kruse
