I got a small PC board that allows using a newer Kickstart ROM from a member here. It wasn't ratte, but I cannot remember his name (and I guess I erased my PM that far back) The instruction were not great, but I got it working without too much trouble.
The accelerator is another story. Some of the A500/A2000 jobs that install on the mobo can be made to work, but not easily (that may be an understatement!)
My current A1000 uses an Insider (1Mb addition) and a Microbotics Starboard II, 2Mb sidecar type expander. I still use the 1.3 OS, disk based kickstart system. It will play many games that the newer systems choke on - which is why I keep this configuration. It's a very dependable system.
