I am not sure if it is 2.03 or 2.05, but one of them is limited to hard disk sizes of 40MB

You sure it's a 2.05 ROM?
2.05 will have come from an old A600. It was the only Amiga that was ever shipped with 2.05. It will work fine in A500. http://www.gregdonner.org/workbench/wb_205.html |

2.05 37.300 HD size limitation is only for the a600 internal ide.. You can of course build an interface for the a500 but by default it doesn't matter.. Like said above, the 2.05 ROM will work fine in any A500/600/2000.. Even A1000 if you make a ROM adapter. |
