Why use a boot floppy. I hear your quite a skilled hardware builder. Then it should be no problem for you to make your own ROM that has the drivers gor your IDE drive. I thought the A500 has 256k Rom and mirrors its ROM in the 256k after the rom space. So it should be possible to create somthing that takes advantage of that.

Or an A600 3.1 Rom. I hear this work on the A500 too. You might be able to replace SCSI.device from that one.

Anyway, good work and congratulations.

Sorry I have no docs. But at work we do use Flash devices and Eeprom devices. As for kickstarts; ther is always reverse engineering. Copying a Rom is not difficult if you have a compatible device to put it in. Finding the devices you want to replace is another. A collegue of mine claims he made a custom Rom once. So I shall ask him next week when I see him again.
