I'd suggest while you're in there to do the PAL grounding modification, it can't hurt and may help things some... I'm using CMI's Kickstart Eliminator and the Amazing Computing 512K piggyback hack with the extra circuitry that holds off the memory until after the disk is accessed. Works like a charm and allows 1.25 Meg internally at little cost. BTW, does anyone know if Creative Microsystems has Kickstart 1.3 available for the Kickstart Eliminator yet? I wouldn't recommend buying it if they don't, but otherwise would recommmend it highly. > ``Quick Robin !

Yup, we've been shipping the 1.3 version for a couple of months now.
If you sent in your registration card, you should have gotten a flier in the
mail with all the upgrade policy stuff in it. Basically, you send in $90 for
the upgrade (Four EPROMs, a disk and a manual..) then, after you've swapped
out your old EPROMs, you send them back to us for a rebate ($15.00 for each
reusable EPROM. ie., no soldered in ones or broken pins...) Your end cost is
$30 plus the shipping.

In fact, the NEWEST board has a socket the same size as the official Commodore ROM !! So now you can get updates from an Amiga dealer.
