You can run 2.0 and up on the 1000 but must have enough fast RAM to load them. So you need an expanded 1000 and have to use a program to relocate Kickstart to RAM and load it there. I did that 'back in the day even on my 2000 to try out 2.0 before I bought the upgrade. Just look for zkick and ykick on Aminet. Ykick I believe will even use the Kickstart RAM for half the ROM file (though it'd been a long time since I played with these). There also is twinkick on Aminet that let's you make a dual 1.3 / 3.1 Kickstart disk though you also have to be aware of other requirements for later OSes ans if you don't have a hard drive/accelerator, going above 2.0 on a 1000 might not have much ROI. Gotek floppy drives should work. Not totally sure about the original cortex firmware. If that don't work try the FlashFloppy firmware. That has an added benefit of the ability to add an LCD screen to see the actual name of the adf being loaded. This can be important since you must use the buttons n the Gotrk to select the Kickstart disk. The 1000 can't boot the menu disk to select your loaded adf since you have to be past loading Kickstart for that to work. "Make no small plans. They have no power to stir men's blood and probably themselves will not be realized.

Do you mean workbench disk, on a a1000 with 1.1 kickstart roms? You can run 1.3 from what I recall, don't remember for 2.x or 3.x

For those who know, if my Amiga 1000 has v 1.1 ROMS, will it only boot with a 1.1. kickstart disk? Thanks Bill
