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).
