Just wondering if anyone else out there has ever used the "KickWork" disk?
Yes, I have. KickWork was a critical item in using an A1000 as an embedded controller, where there was no human to swap out the KS for the WB disk. There was a hard disk, but it was non-autoboot, so I think the drivers had to go in the 'Expansion' drawer of the WB section of the disk. It worked great for over 13 years; at boot, the A1000 saw the floppy as KS, then magically saw the same floppy as WB, and then after WB loaded the startup-sequence handed things over to the hard disk.
I am thinking about putting ethernet software on a KickWork and running my A1000 (with an ethernet board on an expansion) as a 'diskless' network workstation
