Hi!
I am trying to crate a cool kickstart.
I currently use blizkick to run it, but I am gonna burn it to roms soon.
Would it be possible to add action replay or beermon or any other monitor to the rom? And activate it via a level7 interrupt..? I would be so cool to have some monitors and stuff in the rom!

For example action replay (2 and 3) are 128KB/256KB of size, and require the actual hardware for the functionality (such as capturing the HW register writes). These will not work, even if you could stuff it inside the ROM.
Even if you somehow would manage to fit the monitor app inside the ROM, there's a good chance it actually uses data area to store it's variables, and fail horribly when stored to read only memory.
Even if you would somehow get a monitor app that fits, doesn't require any magical hardware, and works from ROM, you'd still need to patch the KS ROM to actually activate the monitor (that is to modify it to hook the level 7 interrupt).
Possible? Sure.
Likely to ever happen? No.

It has happened! :D
Tony Wilen has hacked HRTMon to be ROMable!
Search the eab forums for HRTMon to find it!

Yay, that's nice.

This thread is the only search hit for "Beermon" and a ROMable HRTMon is just what I am looking for! :)

I have made a list of romable modules for amigas with their locations at
http://lilliput.amiga-projects.net/ROM_modules.htm
I hope it helps you to find the modules you are looking for. :)
