Someone thought they were taking the cheap way out, the other person seemed to think it was good for OS updates. (I don't really know why this was on info-atari, but I am interested in both machines and will reply anyway)) There is another reason for the Kickstart disk approach. In the latest Compute! (wait a bit for it, if you don't have a subscription) they mention that Commodore has made the Amiga IBM compatible COMPLETELY IN SOFTWARE! Try doing THAT with a burned-in OS! -Richard Hartman max.hartman@ames-vmsb ------
