   The Kickstart in the A500/A2000 ROM is exactly the same as the A1000
Kickstart disk.  The A500/A2000 Workbench disk has new keymaps which
decode the additional keys on the A500/A2000 keyboards, and some new
commands which address A500/A2000-specific things:  SetClock for our
battery-backed clock, NoFastMem because we sell/supply fast mem for
these two machines, SlowMemLast to swap our internal $C00000 "slow-fast"
mem to the end of the memlist, etc.  At this time, we do not sell
the A500/A2000 Workbench disk by itself since for the most part, none
of the new stuff on it is relevant to a stock A1000.
