>Yes, WriteKickDisk should do this job or get a Kickstart Adapter.

That website for Kickstart adapter is not in English.  Does it bypass the kickram card or does it still require it?

I have an A1000 w/o a Kickstart RAM board so I was thinking if this board would work without that board in the machine.

It's easier to find RAM upgrades for A2000, however A1000 does have TV out and color composite output built in.  Perhaps, if you can customize one of the kickstart adapter boards, you can write a driver to use the 256KB of kickstart RAM at $FC0000..$FFFFFF for memory and have 768KB RAM.
