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

[circlip]

Hi all, I'm about to set my Amiga up again.

Didn't know whether to post as "software" or "hardware".

Anyways, I have an Amiga 500 with the 1mb clock card, and I have a spare kickstart 1.3 chip. What can this little beastie do, and what is the reason for a 1.3 chip?

Is it kinda like windoze needing XP rather than win98 to run newer software?

Thanks.  :crazy:

Yes, it has the "hand" icon. But maybe it's a later chip I have spare. I bought a keyboard from ebay to replace mine, after trying to troubleshoot a rebooting problem. I ended up paying the guy a bit extra, so he sent me the chip as well. Maybe it's a 3.1 chip? all I remember is that it's either "1.3" or "3.1". Correct me if I'm wrong.

Sorry guys, yes, it's a 1.3 kickstart chip. The one in my '500 is a stock chip.
