Newbie needs help - A1000 Kickstart

[mdv2000]

Okay, I got me an Amiga 1000 on ebay recently.  It came with nothing but Keyboard and system.  I have an Amiga 500, but didn't realize the 1000 needs a floppy for the Kickstart!

Is there a way I can make a kickstart floppy for my A1000 with my A500?

Thanks for any help!

Yes, WriteKickDisk should do this job...

So all I have to do is run the Transrom program on my Amiga 500 - making a rom file of the 1.2 Rom and then make it a floppy?  I think that is what it is saying, just want to make sure I got it!

Thanks!

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

Yes it did!  I know have my Amiga 1000 booting up Kickstart 1.3 / WB 1.3

Of course, my A1000 only has 512K of Ram, so now I got to figure out the best way to upgrade the Ram!

I just recently won a A2000 on ebay and its suppose to be delivered today, so I may just "shelf" my A1000 as a personal collectors item and work on upgradeding - tricking out - my new-to-me A2000.

BTW-FYI  my A1000 had a bad keyboard cable and it was easily replaced with a phone headset cable I had laying around...

Also, I have to say Amiga Explorer program rocks!  It make working with my A500 and moving files back/forth very easy.  And it works with Vista 32-bit Premium edition on my laptop too!

Thanks for all the info!
