Kickstart 1.3 ROM in Amiga 500, what can it do?

 I agree with motorollin, since 1.2 ROM Amigas don't accept ROM upgrades very well.

 Open the A500 and see what ROM version you have. I bet you have some sort of 2.0x on it.

 Easy to check: power up your Amiga connected to a TV or monitor with no diskette inside the unit and look at the initial screen.

 If 1.2 or 1.3, a "hand" appears with the ROM version on the disk figure held.

 If 2.0x the boot screen is totally different! You'll see a disk drive on the right and the exact ROM version on the left. Normal range is 37.199 to 37.350 . The higher version, the better, although A500 don't accept IDE HD inside (not without a custom, DIY, IDE controller).

My A1000 has 3.1 roms, works great and OS 3.1 is the best, quickest Amiga OS for a 68K (that Commodore made).

 C= Didn't make the 3.1 Workbench! It was sold only with Escom Amigas!

 The only C= 3.1 system was the CD32, and it came without any WB disk, since it was a game machine (console).

 The other information is absolutely correct.
