Sure, just buy a Kick2.05-ROM (a bit better than the 2.04).
Should work like a treat when the A500 isn't one of the very
first (those may need a bit solderings).

Yes you have to remove the old ROM, to find place for the new one  :-o

If you still want to play all the old 1.x-only games, you might
want to purchase a Kickswitch too. That would allow you to have
2 (sometimes even 3) ROMs inside of the A500.

@Cyberus

AFAIK there is absolutly NO HD-support build into 2.04-ROMs,
atleast not in the 16-bit-wide one, and a 32-bit one would
only support the A3000's SCSI-controller, not the IDE of the
A600.

@McTrinsic

C= had to make space for the SCSI.device (for IDE), the PCMCIA.device,
and therefore threw out some misc libs which now have to be
loaded from disk. Same happened later with the 3.1-ROMs for
the A4000T which had both SCSI and IDE (and both needed ROM-
space).

It might be that the 2.1-installer detected a 2.04-ROM and
therefore didn't install these. Try running the installer
again, or search for libs found on the WB2.1-floppy which
are missing on your HD. Another possibilty would be SnoopDos
(not sure wether that will work on 2.x), and a boot without
startup-sequence.

Oh, and you may try renaming the WBStartup-drawer.
