Title: Dual Kickstart ROM
Post by: curtis on March 15, 2015, 11:24:16 PM
Okay, I may be losing it, but I seem to remember someone talking about a dual Kickstart ROM.

IF I remember correctly, there are 2 KS versions in one ROM and I guess there is some sort of soft selector menu to pick which one to boot from.

Can someone help me out on this one?  Where and how to do this?

There was a single ROM solution once sold on eBay with both 1.3 & 3.1 KS programmed into it and switched with line going from the switch to the ROM pins.  I bought one that now sits in my A2000 working fine, but I can't tell you any more.  It is stored away in a box in the room I use to hoard ceramic trolls (much quieter than the ones on this forum), flash frozen small mammals, snails feeding on carrots to make halloween treats of, and various stuff I would sell were it not for the financial loss from what people who call "collectors" hoarders because they won't pay what the stuff actually costs.

I remember them back in the 90's and that's all.
They somehow sensed which keys you held down which chose which Rom to boot from.
I think there are several keys you hold down.
