Running a newer OS than 1.x on an A1000

[Vanfanel]

I had heard that such a thing was possible, so I do some searching, where I came across a page detailing the process involved in booting a newer than 1.x AmigaOS on an A1000. Using a program to load it into ram and softkick, then another program to reclaim the WCS and use it as normal memory. However, I never bookmarked the page, and my Google-Fu doesn't lead me back to it. I'm doing this just for kicks and giggles, as I'm really only using my A1000 (the only Amiga I own, currently) for games. Thanks.

I used to run rekick (i think) that used to put my OS2.04 disk image rom into fast ram and remap. It also used to the free up the KickRam memory 256mb. You could then run Workbench 2.04.

You need at least 2mb ram really for thisand a hard drive but I used to use it all the time. Well in the late 80's.

That sounds pretty familiar. No HD as of yet, but I have a Spirit 1000 and a Starboard with Upper Deck on the way, so memory is covered.
