Workabout for PCMCIA unfriendly accelerators

Just checking 3.0 ROM via RomSplit it has:
- card.resource --> version 37.11
- carddisk.device --> version 37.11

while 3.1 ROM has:
- card.resource --> version 40.1
- carddisk.device --> version 40.1

You can make too easily an custom Kickstart 3.1 with these, but you need to write to an EPROM and test it out just to be sure
Don't forget that to be able to burn A1200's EPROMS you need to Split the ROM and ByteSwap it.

To make all these with Remus is really easy:

Open a CLI and cd  to Remus/Tools
SplitROMImage SWAP
So the example: SplitROMIMage customkick31.rom SWAP
...will create 2 files:

• customkick31.rom.hi (256kb)
  
• customkick31.rom.lo (256kb)
  

... that now you can burn with your EPROM burner

Good luck

I done a custom kickstart 3.1 with remus + carddisk.device and cad.resource from 3.0
and worked fine on winuae...however on my A1200 it doesn't boot....skick says needs rtb filles or something like that (I don't remember very well)
skick works only with original kickstarts + supplied rtb files

I was thinking now and...
maybe using loadmodule to load resident oldest card.resource and carddisk.device
I will test that later....I know that a simple patch must be possible

RTB files only work for specific Kickstart files so it's logical not to work with the custom Kickstart you made.

Using LoadModule won't work cause the newer versions of card.resource and carddisk.device are already being loaded from the original 3.1 Kickstart so it will give you an error that they're already loaded and can't load the ones you trying.

Only solution is burning them to Eprom mate.
Either find a guy near you that can burn this image to an Eprom or order 2xEproms from eBay and tell the guy to burn the files that you'll send him to the Eproms for ya
