Well, you need to know which version your ROM is on the A500+. I believe they originally shipped with the 1.3 ROM, but it was fairly common for users or dealers to change them up to 2.04.  You need to run a Workbench that matches the first number of your ROM.  (So, in other words, the 1.3 ROM can run Workbench 1.1, 1.2, or 1.3... while the 2.04 ROM can run Workbench 2.04, 2.05, or 2.1.)  

Unfortunatly, you're going to have to buy it, or find a friend who has a configured Amiga.  Normal PCs can't write to Amiga disks, so even if you find a disk image, you have no way to get it to the Amiga....  :-(

No he does not, because all Amiga 500+ computers come with the Kickstart 2.04 ROM

Not true! We are talking about an Amiga 500 "PLUS" computer, not the normal Amiga 500 model. It is fairly common for users and dealers to REMOVE the Kickstart 2.04 ROM [...]


So, therefore, he STILL needs to determine which ROM it has... no?  ;-)

all Amiga 500+ computers come with the Kickstart 2.04 ROM, the full ECS Chipset, and one MB of Chip ram. This is what the "+" means.


Well, they may all have ORIGINALLY came that way...  I'm not from Europe, and don't pay much attention to their varient models...
