Burning Kickstart Roms
« on: May 08, 2014, 08:07:14 AM »
I have been trying to burn some kickstart roms, but I am not having any success, has anyone here done this successfully?
I first tried using the rom files from Amiga Forever, but could not get any of them to work, so then I used GrabKick to read the 3.1 rom in my Amiga 2000, I then used CrossDos to copy the resulting file to a floppy, then loaded it into my PC and burned it into a 27c400 eprom, that all seemed to work fine, but when I put the eprom into my Amiga 500, nothing happened.
Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Dave

You must rewire some of the kickstart legs if you have an early A500. do you know your motherboard revision? i think it's required to do the mod on pre 6 mobos.

That's right, I forgot about that, mine is a revision 5 board.

To use the Amiga Forever "ROM" one must use them in UAE and grab them unencoded -- it is still copyright infringement.  Yes, A500's may need ROM jumpers, or just try it in your A2000.  Better yet, buy a legal copy from Amigakit.

I have already ordered some from Amigakit, this is just an experiment for my own knowledge.
I own a copy of Amiga Forever along with a license for the roms, so technically it is not a copyright infringement, why don't you go after the guy who is selling copies of the Workbench disks on Ebay? that is an obvious copyright infringement.

Well....now that the discussion has devolved into a crapfest....I guess this is the end of this thread.
