   As i understand, one that has older ROM (3.0) can load newer kickstart   
   ROM while booting. there are programs for that as I remember.   
   Maybe one could make smaller partition on disk that could be used until   
   newer kickstart is loaded into memory.   
      
   I have seen numerout times that A1200 have both Hdd and CD/DVD, even   
   integrated notebook optical drive on left of the case (power for that   
   drive should be external as I understand).
