Title: Problem with kickstart 2.04 on A500
Post by: DaNi on September 15, 2004, 03:38:31 PM

hi
i have some errors from my rom, only work 5 min aprox, i think i have the eprom damaged becouse past the 5min, i have gurus and fatal errors. I need to change it but, for the moment, running relokick (1.3 kick) work all well. My question is, how can kick for example, a rom 2.0 (becouse my hd system is 2.0) for kick a rom 2.0 or higher for usage my hd becouse i cant usage my hd under relokick.

Thanks

I think a new 3.1 ROM would be worth the expense.

skick345.lha on Aminet can use most any rom you can get an image of.  

It would be worth finding some replacement chips though if they're flakey (worth re-seating them first - it could be something as silly as a bad contact that goes off when the board warms up).

2.0x roms can be found here and there (with something like a wanted ad on AmiBench), and should be very cheap.  3.1 Roms are more expensive, but really useful if you intend to do some upgrading.
