Agreed on stable (stable as 1.2, anyway).  Agreed on autoboot.
And agreed on *functionally* identical ... but not wholly identical.
So NoKlickStart won't work on it.

C-A had - what, 17 bytes free in the ROMs in 1.2?  So how did they
shoehorn the autoboot code into 17 bytes?  They made room for it.  How
did they make room for it when they didn't change any source code?

Left as an excerise for the reader.

BTW, Last night a bunch of Amigans installed a fatter Agnus,
     a 1.3KS and flickerFixer in Harriet Tolly's (Syndesis) A2000.
     Everything worked!  Dale was on hand to make sure PM knew about
     1MB chip ram (it didn't ... "musta been an old version" :-) ).
