Hi Net!
I have a B2000 with GVP HardCard 40Mb Quantum drive and just received
my Autoboot Kit for the HardCard.

The kit consists in:

a) Two EPROM chips (2764, I believe) labelled ODD and EVEN.

b) an installation disk which looks like the upgrade of the one I got
   with the HardCard and allows for autoboot. It performs mainly two things:

	o format the hard disk
	o create a boot floppy (which I don't want since I want autoboot).

c) NO paper manual, NO readme file, NO DOCs.



So, here are the things I need to know:

1. Which chip goes in which socket ? (Only 2 ways, but that's 1 extra !)
2. Do I really need to reformat the disk ?
3. How can I get the Commodore Kickstart 1.3 ROM ?
4. What if I install the GVP EPROM chips before the Kickstart 1.3 ROM ?

Thanks you very much for any hint about any of these points.

Olivier Mallet.
