The A2000 can run 3.1 without any problem but you need kickstart 3.x.

Workbench 3.1 requires at least 2 MB of Fast Ram to perform properly.
I used to run it with 4 MB of Fast Ram and a 1 MB of Chip Ram on my Enhanced A1000 w Rejuvinator board and KS 3.1 Rom.

Using ClassicWB lite and not using the extra stuff and picking wb 1.3 theme plus using 4 color mode and it will run OK on 1MB ECS machines.
Edit: Ive tried it myself so I know it works fine.

I've tried WB3.1 with 1 meg...

it ran out of ram opening a window/folder?

you might get away with 1 meg if you just want to use it as a clock?

Read what I wrote a few posts back, ive ran it on 1 meg using ClassicWB lite no extras minimal install, WB 1.3 theme and 4 color mode, it runs fine, not optimal but fine.

Edit: I would still rather use an older WB version, but it will work.

but that's just pointless?

Pointless yes, but the original poster asked if he could run it, not if it's practical, but doing as I said and you will be left with about 500KB chip left (you can remove a bit to save a lill more), Depending on what you want to do 500KB is plenty or nothing, so ill leave it up to the thread starter to decide if it's somehting he want to do or not. Still nothing I would use in the long run.
