I'e done it with both using the correct backplanes.
As I remember the
SMS1000 is a bit strange in the boot deperatment.
You can say that again!!! Though if you get into the right parts of the
Boot ROMs there is some cool stuff. It is _VERY_ limited on what it will
work with though, and I suspect there is some wierd stuff about the console
port also. As a result I've stolen the CPU out of on of my two SMS-1000's
for the Homebuilt/73.
IIRC, the SMS-1000 is really wierd in how it works with the 5.25" floppy.
I want to say that it expects to boot off the floppy thinking it's a RX02,
but it's been months since I've messed with it, so I might be mistaken.
