A500 kick 1.3 in A600..?
Possible? Can I just swap my A500's kick 1.3 and slam it in my A600? Of course I'll lose PCMCIA and IDE support, but can I boot A500 disks on it and 'use it as an A500'? That would be awesome!
Would like to know before I open both my miggies |

However, I'm only going to use my A600 'the oldskool way', aka. using floppies. I have loads of DD floppies and a nice Catweasel MKIV. I don't need IDE in it.. I use my lovely A1200 for WB stuff. Last edited by 8bitbubsy; 22 October 2009 at 05:02. |

Thats what i use it for, thing is, a lot of the later games don't like certain Kickstarts so this way allows you to load probably abou 90% of all non AGA floppies |

Lol yeah just put your kickstart 1.3 in your amiga 600, it works perfect! I did it once same reason you want to. I think you can even put an amiga 600 2.05 in a non plus 500!

Yes you can. I did it myself some time ago in one A500 crying for a ROM update and it just work. ROM is the 2.05 37300 version

It wont work i tried myself it didnt start I think i also know why , first of all the chipset is different , amiga is ocs a 600 i ecs . Second a600 has ide controller and amiga doesnt 3d a 500 has 512k ram and i dont think kick 1.3 can handle 1 mb ram Anyway it didnt work when i tried on my a600. it simply turned on but didnt start A500 accepts from 1.2 up to 3.1 ( single chip 512k ) a600 from 2.0 up to 3.1 (single chip) If its just for game use relokick it works great trust me |

Think your incorrect here. I have used Kick1.3 in an A600 before with no problems. Chipset has nothing to do with it, niether does the IDE controller and certainly not the 1MB memory. |

You can use KS 1.3 in an A600, I have mine set up on a 1MB eprom so i can dual boot between 1.3 and 3.1. There is also a modified KS1.3 about that allows HD installation. There is a link above that shows how to do it

Did you align the chip correctly in the socket? There are two pins left over on the pcmcia slot side.
