Install a kickstart switch
It's not that bad, I used to live with an a500+ for years, and there were only ~3-4 games that didn't work at all. |

All depends on what you want to use a Kickstart 2.x Amiga for. If it's for games, then plain degrading will run most stuff, otherwise a romswitcher with 1.3 is the 100% solution.
If the use is something a bit more than games, then Kickstart 2.x and Workbench 2.1 gives the user the power of datatypes.......which in my book is a very good reason to upgrade from Kickstart 1.3. |

Besides, a a500 with 2.0will be more compatible than an a500+ since it has 512k chip + 512k fast (slow?) ram unlike 500+, which makes the + even more incompatible
