Big fan of Kickstart on disk and one of the great alluring features of the A1000. In fact, BITD, I thought it stupid C= even considering placing it in ROM. Especially when you were an early adopter and/or were aware of the changes to come so early on. None of Commodore's machines made it particularly easy for the end user to swap ROMS (especially in an A2000!), so in the relatively short time of 1.1 to 1.2 to 1.3 and 2.x... was ridiculous all the changes there for a while. Should have kept it on floppy or made it a helluva lot easier to swap the ROM, such as through a trap door, side plane, whatever.
BTW: all my original DS/DD Kickstart disks still work after all these years. In fact, even with all the horse trading, buying and selling I've done, have yet to run across a bad original Kickstart disk.
+1 always kick my kick disk in my df0 and my 1000 boots up from my extrenal scsi drive. FWIW, all my original disks work fine and I love the sound of the drive singing before the scsi drive takes her to WB:biglaugh::cool:
