Title: AmigaOS 3.1.4 and Kickflash OS4
Post by: HammerD on January 31, 2020, 02:32:58 PM

Hi, I have a Kickflash OS4 Zorro 2 card in my A4000. I loaded the AmigaOS 3.1.4 ROM Image (from my digital download of AmigaOS 3.1.4) into the KickFlash as a Kickstart ROM Image.

Now when I power on my Amiga 4000, I see the Cyberstorm MK-2 060 init screen (like flashing blue) - which is normal, then the screen immediately turns white. After that nothing happens - no disk activity, no floppy clicking...nothing.

Any idea what I am doing wrong? I didn't buy the physical roms because I figured I could put the AmigaOS 3.1.4 kickstart rom image into the KickFlash...

Thanks
Darren

Also...how do you get ReAction programs to work on Amiga OS 3.1.4? Can you install Class Act or just copy OS 3.9 ReAction components over? I'd like to run AmiDock as well...are there any tutorials anywhere on how to do that?

Sorry, can't help with the ROM image however, here's the official Hyperion FAQ page which might yield some hints.

Also, there were quite a few discussions concerning ReAction.  One here.....

Also, as you may or may not know, Hyperion now has full acquisition of ReAction GUI toolkit. There's a lot of speculation that ReAction will be integrated into OS3.2?

And, of course, BestWB. Which may or may not be of any interest to you.

Thanks the links, help, but I haven't found anyone talking about the KickFlash OS4 yet, which is my main concern.

I see now it is relatively easy to get the ReAction classes working - just copy them over basically.   Yes now that Hyperion owns them I hope they will be in 3.2.  So far I'm liking Amiga OS 3.1.4.  It seems to be extremely stable and fast.  Large HD support is great, HDToolbox obviously had a lot of work done on it... as is screenmode prefs "Test", looks great!
