The dongle to let you run OS4 on it.


Ohhh THAT.

Its not a Dongle, Its just extra code in the BIOS E2PROM that provides extra functionality required by AOS4. Makes absolutely no difference, other than y'cant run OS4 if y'aint got the code.  :-P

Jayzus, this thread moves quick !
that must've been the 3rd time I've been double posted (posts appearing coincidentally with mine) !!

KickFlash wont work on an A1 cos it aint got Zorro slots. only AGP and PCI.
