From article <5948@leadsv.UUCP:, by lord@leadsv.UUCP (Parker Lord):
: 
: 	I read on the net of the existence of a product called the Kickstart
: Eliminator. Does this board do what it actually implies such as eliminating 
: the need to install the Kickstart disk every time the amiga (I have an A1000) 
: is turned on? Such a thing would be very helpful. My question is where do
: you go about ordering such a thing and are they hard to install. Does any 
: other product exist to allow you to boot up without a Kickstart disk?

	That's exactly what the Kickstart Eliminator does. It is a kit that
gives you the proper EPROMs/PALs to put the Kickstart on the motherboard of
your 1000. The installation is fairly simple, but does require some expertise
with a soldering iron. You have to remove a PAL from the daughterboard and
install sockets on the motherboard. They are available from pretty much any
dealer/mail order house, or direct from CMI at 19552 SW 90th CT., Tualitan,
Oregon 97062 (503) 691-2552. Note that you also get to use that old KS memory
as expansion memory. An extra 256K never hurts...

: 	Any and all help will be appreciated.
