- This list of 2.1 features mentions improved floppy drive use. I had the
- impression from somewhere that this was to include support for HD floppy
- drives so 3rd party fixes like HDFixer would no longer be needed. Can
- anyone confirm this is so?
-
- Also I am not really clear on the 2 packages (floppy disks only vs ROM +
- floppies.) If I understand it some 3000's have Kickstart in ROM and AmigaDOS
- on the hard drive whereas others have everything in ROM. (Did I get that
- right?) Will the floppy only kit work with the former type of 3000 or will
- it be necessary at this time to go to a ROM installation? (thereby giving up
- the ability to boot in 1.3 by holding down the mouse buttons.)
