Help gathering Kickstart info for BBoAH
« on: February 04, 2007, 02:09:44 PM »
Last year I helped BBoAH on a big grey area, the Agnus. Response was great and we cleared up most of the mystery.

Now it is the turn of Kickstart ROM.

I have gathered the following information from various sources.

Code: [Select]
Kickstart 1.2
-------------
*1.2 500/1000/2000 (v33.180): 315093-01

Kickstart 1.3
-------------
*1.3 500/1000/2000 (v34.5  ): 315093-02
 1.3 A3000         (v      ):

Kickstart 1.4
-------------
*1.4 A3000         (v36.016): 390630-02 (High Word, ROM 1 V5) 9024
                              390629-02 (Low Word,  ROM 0 V5) 9029

Kickstart 2.04
--------------
 2.04 A3000        (v      ); 390630-01 (High Word),
                              390629-01 (Low Word)
 2.04 A3000T       (v      ): 390630-02 (High word, ROM 1 V5) 9049,
                              390629-02 (Low Word,  ROM 0 V5) 9042
 2.04 A3000        (v      ): 390630-03 (High Word),
                              390629-03 (Low Word)
 2.04 A500/A2000   (v37.175): 390979-01 (Requires Extra wire on some Amiga's)
 2.04 A500/A2000:  (v      ): 363968-01

Kickstart 2.05
--------------
*2.05 A600         (v37.299): 391388-01
*2.05 A600         (v37.300): 391304-01
*2.05 A600         (v37.350): 391304-02

Kickstart 3.0
-------------
*3.0 A1200         (v39.106): 391524-01 (High Word, ROM 1),
                              391523-01 (Low Word,  ROM 0)
 3.0 A4000         (v39.106): 319514-02 (High word, ROM 1, D16-D31),
                              319513-02 (Low Word,  ROM 0, D00-D15)

Kickstart 3.1
-------------
 3.1 CD32          (v40.56 ): 391640-02
 3.1 CD32          (v40.58 ):
*3.1 CD32          (v40.60 ): 391640-03
 3.1 500/600/2000  (v40.63 ):
*3.1 A1200         (v40.68 ): 391774-01, (Low word)
                              391773-01  (High word)

 3.1 A4000T        (v40.70 ): 391658-01, (Low word, Rom 1)
                              391657-01  (High word, Rom 0)


I need help correcting mistakes, filling in the part numbers, and version numbers. Getting some more pictures of them etc.

If it has a * next to it I already have a photo/own this kickstart so no need to send that.

I also have a few questions:

KS1.4 appears to have the same part numbers as KS2.04

16-bit KS2.04 appears to have different versions for different motherboards and if you got the wrong one you needed a flying wire to the gary (anyone know about this?)

A3000 usually had (at least) two versions of kickstart per release. One for use on new motherboards (or older ones with a ROM Tower) and one for older motherboards without a ROM Tower. I've no idea which are which.

This page http://www.amiga-stuff.com/hardware/2mbit-maskrom.html

Has some additional information but it seems in contrast to what I already know to be true.

Quote
391657-01 IC, 0ROM, 256Kx16, 150nS, Kickstart (high) Kickstart V3.1 40.70 (high)
391658-01 IC, 1ROM, 256Kx16, 150nS, Kickstart (low) Kickstart V3.1 40.70 (low)
 

Up to these chips all 32-bit kickstarts (which come in pairs) followed a scheme. Even part numbers were marked named ROM1 and were the high 16-bit word and odd part numbers were marked ROM0 and were the low 16-bits.

Now they suddenly change their scheme?

I dont think so, but can anyone confirm?

They may have changed, I think it was VillageTronic who championed and physically made KS3.1 wasnt it? Commodore had closed by this time?

Jeff is right, it had a regular 16-bit KS1.3 (listed above)

There were only a few versions of CDTV PROM & A570 PROM and the information is already recorded and verified for these.

You have to have the later version of the CDTV PROM to add KS2.04+ to your CDTV

I already know about workbench nostalgia and have "gleamed" all of the information from there (together with other sources) to make my original list.
