A500 (not plus) with Kickstart 3.1 - Questions

[jrfjunior]

Hi, I have two A500 with Kickstart 1.3. i will like to know if they will work with Kickstart 3.1 (obviously without the extra graphics features of the A500+)? Will they work with Workbench 3.1?

Thanks

I'm running Kickstart 3.0 and WB 3.1 on my A500 --- works fine.  (I'd imagine KS3.1 will probably be ok too)

I've got 3 megs of memory in the machine, I don't know how much free memory you'll have running WB 3.1.

Thanks. Memory is no problem. I have GVP HD8+.

I think there was something funny regarding A500 board revisions and KS 3.1, older ones needed a weird jumpering of legs on the ROM.

Also, I think you can get the fancier video modes as well if you swap in the newer rev Denise chip.
