I still remember back when the OS was partially shipped in ROM.

You don't turn an Amiga 500 into a 600 by upgrading the OS.

the 500 and 600 have different chipsets. The 600 has more expansion options than the 500.

Kickstart is in ROM you need 1.3 to play the old Amiga games, and 3.1 for the AmigaOS 3.X stuff.

Exactly, because the whole package was the experience, not just some bits shipped in on a floppy.
