What do I need to burn my own Kickstart ROM's?

[motorollin]

Hi Leo, I have instructions on how to do this for an A1200. What Amiga is it for?

Maybe he wants to customise it.

Have a look at this thread. I have posted some instructions I found on how to burn ROMs for the A1200.

The cost of a PROM burner is much higher than that of Kickstart ROMs. It doesn't make sense economically, piracy issues aside.

Piracy is not the only reason for burning an ROM image. There is software which can insert BlizKick modules or the OS>=3.5 ROM updates in to a 3.1 kickstart image. Burning them to a chip makes them available from cold boot and eliminates Setpatch and BlizKick reboots.

You could purchase a KickFlashOS4 or a Romulus

...if you have Zorro slots. A1200s don't, so replacing the chip is the only option.

Certainly now that there won't be any more ROM library updates, it would be nice if somebody produced a bunch of 3.9 ROMs with final versions of everything (with legal approval of course).

This could be done legally. Someone with a large stock of 3.1 ROMs could amalgamate the 3.9 ROMUpdate in to a 3.1 ROM image, burn it to EPROMs, and supply the ROM chip with the EPROM. To make sure the ROM chips can't be used in another computer, the legs could be cut off. That way you purchase the ROM chip and AInc or whoever get their royalty, and the user gets an updated ROM chip ready for 3.9.
