Creating an Amiga 1000 Kickstart Disk
« on: January 28, 2008, 05:05:28 AM »
Hi all...

Got a bargain basement A1000 from the local Craigslist coming this week and I'm wondering about creating a bootable kickstart for it.  I've got licensed ROMs from AmigaForever, and a Catweasel on my pc.

To create a Kickstart Disk do I simply name a disk "Kickstart" and copy the 1.3 ROM file on the disk?

Been about 21 years since I've had an A1000 to play with!

Thanks for the help!

Bob

Thanks for the link, Matt!  

I also have an A500 with a 1.3 rom I could grab so I'll have a number of opportunities to get a legal ROM for the disk....

Looking forward to getting home and seeing what I've got on Wednesday!

Not heard of a KickWork disk but I can understand the need if you had, say a BBS or a TV Guide channel running on your A1000.

Thanks Matt!

Picked up the A1000 today...it had a Kick 1.1 and 1.2 so I'll likely cobble together a 1.3 Kick and workbench this weekend.

Great computer...had Aegis Animator, JDK fonts, Deluxe Paint II, Aegis Draw, and the Amiga Extras and manuals.  Not bad for $10!  

I think I'm going to keep a better eye on Craigslist!

Thanks to all for answering my Kickstart questions!
