Amiga ROM (no please dont flame me *hides* )
« on: October 21, 2003, 05:49:32 PM »
Hello, i wanted to ask what kind of ROM's are used in the A3000/4000/1200, i wanted to experiment with writing my own ROM's for the Amiga etc. , but to do that i would need to know what kind of ROM's it are.

*hopes not to get flamed*

I think he is asking what type of roms are used.
EG:
PLCC 32 4 meg ROM
So he can replace the Amigas ROMS with a custom programmed one.

A1200 has 2 40PIN DIL ZIF ROMS 256K each IIRC


I was more thinking about what kind of ROM's it are as in model, like "24C128" etc. not the Package type

I would like to get some own written Code to run, first starting out with for example a little bit of code to let the LED's flash or so, the nicest thing to get running would be to hack the NetBSD kernel in a ROM and boot that (just as a proof of concept kinda idea)

There's a design for a flashrom board on Aminet. It's for the 500/2000 rather than the 3000/4000/1200. I suppose you could modify it..

Hi, all kickstart after 1.3 need 512 kb (the A1200 use 2 x 256 kb to maintain 32 bits compability....).

Do you want to finish the yeah old and buggy kick 3.5 ?
Or want to rewrite the new kickstart v50 for A4000+CPPC for AOS 4 ??  ;-)


I dont have a certain nickname wich shortens to "DM" and has a Amiga2000HD with Mil-Spec'd Custom Chips.
