the story of amiga | part 15 - the new version of amiga Operating System

i've talked about the previous amiga hardware called the amiga 3000 and if you haven't checked that out then you can click here to read it.

kickstart 1.3 had been order of the day since 1988, and is the go-to ROM for compatibility of older game titles, but the 3000 almost witness to version 1.4, which increased the ROM size from 256Kb to 512Kb. however kickstart 1.4 and the tied in workbench 1.4 remained in the prototype stage, although this may explain why the 3000 required booting kickstart from floppy or hard drive to be bootstrapped into memory, just like the original 1000 machines.

kickstart 1.3 was included on the early iterations, with the fully fledged version 2 included on releases from late 1990s onwards.

that's all for today's story
