Does anyone know if the DKB Multistart II will work in an Amiga 600?  The manual indicates and contains instructions for A500 and A2000, but it probably came out before the A600 was even released.  I don't want to attempt to destroy my A600 without some help from you, if you know something?  :-)  Thanks.


Good question and I wish I had the answer for you, but don't know for sure.  I think it should work with no problem, but have no evidence that it does.  Are you planning the installation of Kickstart 2.05 and 3.1 ROMs into the MultiStartII?  I doubt that there were ever any Kickstart 1.3 ROMs created for the A600, after-the-fact, as you said the A600 came out after many items were created for the Amiga, such as the MultiStartII itself.

Let us know if you get brave and test it out on your A600, but I think soft-kicking would be a safer choice that most people would use instead of the MultiStartII.

I think as long as the magical keyboard ROM switching thing works with the 600, it'll be fine.  I have a single chip in my 600 with 1.3, 2.05, and 3.1 Kickstarts on it and they all work, though it's being switched with a plain old hardware switch.

Single chip?  You mean a single Kickstart ROM chip with 1.3, 2.05 & 3.1 Kickstarts on it and a hardware switch???  Please tell us more!  That sounds very..............unusual, to say the least.
