Another "bringing this thread back from the dead" post.

Just an interesting and expected finding, but thought I'd list it anyway..

I just got an AE High Density floppy drive a bit ago..
Was playing with it, and got it working on my Amiga 1000.
I was using a standard WB boot disk for this, as my KickWork disk was a bit full. ;-)
(In that, I'd use the Kickwork to kickstart, but then ejected it and put in copy of a standard WB disk to install the AEHD drivers..)

OK, so I made a copy of my kickwork disk and cleared a bit of space to make room for the drivers..

And it doesn't work.  No shock.
Everything seems fine, until I load DEVS:AETD.device, which is what patches trackdisk device.
When I do that, I lose my kickwork boot partition.
(Starts telling me to insert KickWork, which is still there..)

So, these 2 patches to trackdisk seem to not like eachother..

Just an interesting find..

I use a Kickwork disk on my A1000 currently, and it also loads the drivers for my IDE and RAM card and then transfers control to my IDE drive to finish the boot from the CF(IDE) card.

Works great.

I don't use kickwork to boot anything other than 1.3 tho.

If you're looking for 3.1, that's going to be something that (I think) only ratte has done.
