You can ofcourse have a kickstart-switcher and switch between 3.1 and 1.3. There are plenty of them around, some even quite new.

@daniel_swe

The question really is *why* do you want to upgrade?

If you are just going to stick to a stock Amiga 500, I don't really see a point in upgrading to anything beyound Kickstart 1.3. If you are about to upgrade with faster CPU and harddrive, then it's a whole different story.

As already said, if you are just going to be using floppy disks, you will be paying money for making your machine less compatible with the games you want to play.

In my head it doesn't make sense, but it's your money.

Because some (many?) old games won't work then.
Better just get an A1200 too. (for max. compatibility :-D)

Yes but then again, there are those circuts that allow you to have multiple kickstart roms..

And maybe in the future i will be using a harddrive, atleast with the A600HD that will arrive next week..

Just want to try it out to see for my self..
