A4K New OS - Drivers etc

Nope, it's very easy.

Just download and install Blizkick and tell it which Kickstart image to use.

First line of your S:Startup-Sequence is usually the best place for it.

It maps the ROM and then reboots into KS3.1.

Coolness, sounds fab! I assume remapping ROM won't affect Workbench in the meantime?

You can run WB3.0 on a remapped 3.1 ROM with no problems that I am aware of.

Buy a copy of Amiga Forever for the 3.1 ROMS and installation disks, or just google for them.

You'll have an extra automatic soft reboot during a power-on reset and loose 512Kbytes of Fast RAM

Both of which you probably had anyhow if you had MAPROM set.

I have both 'random' ROM's and Amiga Forever '10. So that is no problem. I will give that a go - and thanks been a help........how do these IDE splitters work? I could do with two more! Do they plug and play?

[LordSpunky]

Still waiting for that PCMICA from ebay....once that is here I'll be unplugging the CDR for awhile and transferring some stuff across! Fingers crossed!

You can get off eBay an IDE->CF adapter for A4000 for under £5. No drivers required. Install anything you like to the CF card on your PC (via a USB card reader & WinUAE) and transfer it over to the Amiga.

If you're smart, partition your CF card into two. Amiga FFS and PC Fat32 and get native file access on both using ADFView on PC and Fat95 on Amiga

I have just received my CF Reader, disconnected my IDE CD-ROM and plugged it in, plugged in the power, took the jumper off to make it slave [Current IDE HDD is Master].
And it doesn't work, if there is no card in the reader then when workbench loads it comes up with an error. If I leave the card in the reader [has some random files on it which I used with my EasyADF PCMCIA kit for my A1200 it doesn't load the HDD and comes up with the insert floppy logo, any ideas?
