The kickstart for 1.4 will be in 512K of ROM, there is no disk version
of KS for the 1000 because the WCS is only 256K. My sources tell me that
workbench 1.4 will identify the type of KS and adjust itself
accordingly. In other words, workbench 1.4 will run on a 1000, or any
other machine with KS 1.3 or 1.2 but you will not be able to take full
advantage of it's features. This is the reason for the final 1000 trade in
offer.
