I have to say again this site has really allowed me to enjoy the A1000 instead of just having it for museum purposes. It was here that I discovered the awesome little Parceiro that allowed me to use the system without having to mod it.

Recently I have been trying to understand how the kickstart disk works and how the KickWork disk is created when I stumbled onto another one of intric8's threads here about the TwinKick that has led to much fun.

My reaction to seeing the A1000 bitmap followed by the 3.1 ROM on screen for the first time was quite similar to his video.

I then set out to create a dual boot setup that would allow me to have an SD card with 1.3 and one with 3.2. Turns out the new boot method on 3.2 and the challenge of patching an already patched ROM made that a bit too much for the first attempt. So, I ended up with C= 3.1 that matches the ROM TwinKick is based on.

Here is the A1000 and A1200/060 in matching WB3.
