       | Fed it a 1.3 A500 Kickstart and had a nice bit of nostalgia for
       | the A500 I used to have's 'insert disk' screen (still have a
       | working A1200).

       | Didn't have any Amiga disk images to hand, so can't comment
       | further.

       | It worked as expected from an Amiga 500 (I own 500/600/1200).
       | 
       | There was, however, a pain point in the process. I use i3 as wm,
       | and I do not use GUI file managers... so it took me a lot of
       | effort to figure out I needed to DRAG AND DROP a kickstart rom
       | file. Opening a file dialog with a click somewhere in the
       | interface would be a major UX improvement.

       | Except, at first, it was mostly in person and in competing
       | computer magazines. And eventually, many of us got our first
       | modems, and got into our first online arguments on dial-up BBSs.
       | 
       | It is in that spirit, that I offer this link to a browser based
       | Atari ST emulator ;-)
