- NOTES - Important differences:
- Size: Kickstart 1.2 was 256Kb. Kickstart 3.0 is 512Kb
- Offsets: EVERYTHING changes. Do not make any assumptions about any data in rom, for example reset locations, topaz.font data position.
- Libraries: Many disk-based libraries under 1.3 are now in ROM, along with disk-validator and other things….
- Workbench: Workbench is much improved. Use it.
- OS Functions: Many new OS functions in all libraries. Now much easier to use, and faster. Much faster than under 1.2/1.3
