5216.1Multistart from DKBDECWET::DAVISMark W. Davis 206.865.8749Tue Nov 19 1991 09:1110
    A friend of mine has the Multistart A500 from DKB.  He has v1.3 and
    v2.04 ROMs installed.  It allows you to software switch between ROMs -
    I cannot remember how he did it but I think he booted up from floppy
    initially and, depending on the ROMs selected, finished the boot from
    either a 2.0 or 1.3 hard drive partition.  I think the Multistart works
    with A500 motherboards Rev. 5 or lower and most A2000s.  There is one
    for the A1000 also.  Magazine prices are around $72.00US to $79.95US.
    
    I do not know what an A500+ is so do not know if it will function with
    the Multistart.
