really? you can store and use 3.1 rom in kickflash??? I think it is disabled, and u can only store the os3.9 romupdates... but I never tried to do it, my 1200 has 3.1 roms installed... the koyoteflash document leads me to believe that in the current kickflash firmware you cannot use a 3.0/3.1 rom...

does "Retro Kickstart remapping feature" actually leads you to believe you can install and use a 3.1 rom? since when 3.1 is retro? If you read carefully it needs BOTH 3.1 + 1.x/2.x to operate in ONLY 1.x/2.x mode... and if you could use whatever firmware you wanted, wouldn't that be advertised as well??? Wouldn't the kickflash description read something like: "Use any version firmware you want" or something similar?

but I *never* tried to flash just a 3.1 rom, there is no point on my machine... I only say what I understand by reading the docs...

yeah, I wish too I could flash whatever rom I wanted... it can be done for sure, but I think that it is disabled in koyoteflash to discourage piracy or whatever...
ofcourse you can use the kickflash as a clockport adapter, we even have the original clockport schematics in the a.org images...  :-D
better get a 3.1rom too, then install os3.9 and don't a single reboot to start 3.9 (except the power-on, lol) plus you can have the usb stack available at boot time...
