You can softkick your 500 into WB2, provided you have enough memory. At least 2MB of RAM would be needed, since you'll be loading the ROM in a part of memory.

A program like skick and a suitable rom image should do the job.

Try to get Crossdos V4.0 on a real Amigadisk from someone in our area.
It will work also with Kick 1.3 ( maybe Crossdos V5.0, too ? )
The you can simply boot the Workbench 1.3, open a Shell, put in the Crossdos disk and mount df0 as a PC drive 'di0' by typing:
DF0:ATTACH DI0: ( also DI1, DI2,... for DF1, DF2, .... is possible )
