3- Quick but complete installation Manual in PDF!
The manual covers the installation of the switcher for the AMIGA 500 / 2000 and 600.
4- My Switcher is ready?
If your Switcher is ready (tested), your line into the table is updated. When it's ready for shipment, look at chapter 5 below!
When some switchers are ready to be shipped, I send a message, then after seven days, if I have no news from the recipients, they will be put at the end of the list.
I remove from the table members who come onto Amibay frequently (sometimes everyday) and who never open my PMs.
I have decided to make like that since some members seemed to be very hurry to receive their order (multiple posts & PMs), then, strangely, when I send them the PM... no more news from them!
And this is not because they don't visit Amibay each day... So finally, the following members have the chance to rise into the list!
Thank you for your understanding
5- Payment:
When your switcher(s) is (are) tested and ready to be shipped, I send a PM to ask for your postal address and to give you the total amount and my Paypal address.
I DON'T ASK FOR PAYMENT BEFORE THAT YOUR ORDER IS READY TO BE SHIPPED.
Payment by Paypal with Gift option or buyers pay the fees.

6- A quick presentation:
"Stand alone" plugged directly into the ROM socket of the Amiga. Price: 13.50€
Perfect for Amiga 2000 with or without Accelerator board plugged into the processor slot near the 68000.
Perfect also for Amiga 500 installed into a tower. Not usable into an A500 desktop
"Ribbon version". A little ribbon-PCB is plugged into the ROM socket of the Amiga. Price: 21€
The Kickstart Switcher is connected to the ribbon-PCB via a 40 wires ribbon.
Usable into AMIGA 500, 2000 & 600.
This version is usable also into an Amiga 600. My A600 doesn't run with the KS1.3. I don't know why.
So, onto my A600, I have tested the Switcher only with KS2.05 & KS3.1.
