Re: kickstart rom files

Is there a particular naming scheme for these roms if you want to have all flavours available?
And can I have 3.1, 3.1.4 and 3.
2 A1200 roms instalked at the same time.

[amyren]

ok. But what rom does the A500p and A4000 setups use then?

I think he means official roms, like having both kickstart 3.1 and 3.2 ROMS in the system.
OS3.2 should work with 3.1 ROM, but will need to load the 3.2 ROM into memory. But the loss is less available RAM and longer boot time.

I am talking about official roms.
Let’s say I have 3.1 and 3.2 roms but wish to have 2 x a1200 setups.
I select 1200 when I upload hdf but I cannot select the specific Rom
I have found that OS would load but then I could not use “execute command” to open newshell etc so then forced to delete 3.1 rom but keep 3.2 if that makes sense.

Just tested to create a OS3.2 install in WinUAE by emulating a A1200 with kickstart 3.1.
Then the loadmodules was installed automaticly. Next installing it in a A1200 setup in A600GS with the 3.1 rom worked fine.
Next I did another test by creating the hdf while having a 040 cpu. It then warns about this, and instruct to reboot and install the mmu libraries. Strangely they didnt have an installscript on the mmulibs disk, or any instructions, but I just copied everything on the disk straight into the hdd. Then using that hdf with the A4000 setup in A600GS and it booted without issues.

Why use a 4000 config, when you set it up for 1200?

You get 8 MB more ram when choosing the A4000 setup.
Also I was curious about how OS3.2 would work in AmiBerry with those needing to install those mmulibs.
Now that this OS3.2 setup is prepared with the mmulibs it will run on both A1200 and A4000 setup.
