Softloading Kickstart 3.1
« on: February 29, 2004, 06:08:52 PM »
I have a Kickstart 3.0 Amiga 4000 and would like to upgrade it to 3.1 so that I can install OS 3.9 etc. The problem is Kickstart 3.1 roms for Amiga 4000s are few and far between. I've heard that it's possible to softload the rom images with certain applications.

Firstly, is this possible and if so what application(s) would I need to do this.

Secondly, what disadvantages are there to this over using the actual roms? I have PLENTY of fast ram (140 megs or so) and a Cyberstorm 060/50.

I fully intend to get the real roms installed when some surface. Does anyone know of dealers in the UK that still have 4000 roms available?

Many thanks,
