Hyperion: "Halloween special double-treat for the Classic AmigaOS"

Edit: That said, that's a really weak list of version numbers.

+2

Without really digging into it, I don't really see how this would be of any use to someone already running a fully patched 3.9. But  I suspect I'm not their target market.  Thoughts?

apparently a few customers had difficulty booting from the workbench images on some systems....

Wonder if it's a similar problem to what Cloanto had with their "3.X" ROM's?

I believe it is divided into EVEN and ODD ROMs, but I do not know if that is bytes or words.  I read somewhere that WinHex will work for this application in EVEN/ODD words.

I need to pull out the 1200 and 4000 schematics.  I am curious if I can go larger.  512k in two ROMs is 256k, but I wonder if I can use 512k ROMs and build a 1MB ROM image, instead -- with the caveat that my CYberStorm will only MapROM up to 512k.

AFAIR I just saw this conversation somewhere within the past year or two.  A1200 can take up to 1MB but A4000 needs something like a ROMY to do it.

In the same thread someone mentioned some MapROM software that could support up to 1MB, but I don't recall what thread off-hand.

GVPTools is what you seek

GVP FaaastPrep software is horribly outdated. Even if you can get it to not trash your hard drive, I think it freaks out with drives much larger than 1GB. Dude should be using the latest version of HDtoolbox, just like most of us... and not spamming on unrelated threads, lol.

as Gold Five says: "Stay on target."
