the disk may be bad. Get a clean new disk, and or clean the drive. Of course, you'll need an amiga to do that. I can help if you need one (I have a working A2000 and I'm reasonable close to you). -andy

thanks. I have a beta version of 1.2 and a "gamma" version of 1.4. Otherwise I have no disks and will have to make them. My 1000 is very early, the dates on the chips are spring/summer of 85. It could be then that the disk drive is bad, the disks are bad, and/or I need to make a 1.1 Kickstart disk.. Bill

For those who know, if my Amiga 1000 has v 1.1 ROMS, will it only boot with a 1.1. kickstart disk?
If your Amiga is asking for a Kickstart disk (i.e., it has a WCS board not Kickstart in ROM), then it should work with any version of Kickstart from 1.0 to 1.3. 2.0 is too large to fit on the WCS board so that's when a bunch of us got ROM expanders to use an A500/A2000 Kickstart ROM chip. Some people also converted the WCS RAM to be extra RAM, I think, but that was a bit of a hack.
