OK, I bought the kickstart roms 3.1, now what?

[ElZorro]

Because of the mailing with (I believe it was) Flashlab, I bought the kickrom 3.1 chips thrue Vesalia.de.
The chips costs € 23,20
But I do not live in Germany, so the international bank shipment gonne cost me 13,50 extra!
However, it seems less then buying it thrue for example ComputerCity.biz. CC sells them for €35,-- without post and packing! (about € 6,20)

But, thats that!
Now I have the kicks, how to install them....
probably somewhere explained on the net.
Any suggestion how to find...

You should have received some installation instructions which are specific for your Amiga model - it isn't possible to give generic instructions for installing the kickstart ROMs.

We have half a dozen different sets of printed documentation with diagrams for the different Kickstart 3.1 ROMs.  Which Amiga do you have?

I forget this everytime!
I will adjust my signature which describs my Amiga.

I have: hardware:

A1200 met 250MB harddisk 2,5" intern.
Kickstart 39.106 {exec.ver. 39.37} WorkBench 40.42 (diskversion)

Blizzard 1230 Phase IV MK, 50MHz, 32MB RAM met SCSI kit met 32 MB (totaal dus 64MB) (spec. CPU 68030/ 68882fpu/ 68030mmu.

(On the Scsi kit) external Hd 800MB

Midi interface (2x in 2xout 1x true)
Yamaha psr-540 keyboard
Roland EM-10 keyboard

Need more info?

Hi Amigakit,

I visited you website, looks great. Time to investigate it all! :lol: (If I only had some more)

As soon as I receive the chips, I will get to it straight away. Remember my name, FAME!

I had ajusted my signature explaining my setup of Amiga.

Now the Amiga World will know!

Thanks, Frisby

I will post a piece of the confirmation and my bank account:

VESALIA
1 pcs Kickstart ROMs 3.1 for Amiga 1200     17.90   17.90

Payment method: Cash in ADvance (Bank Transfer).

Shipping & Handling:                                 5.30
---------------------------------------------------------
TOTAL AMOUNT:                                       23.20

Bank Account Notification
(because of transmission to Germany)

Valuta : 18/08/2006    REFERENTIE 060817E095200201

How to set this to lower costs, if banktransfer going to cost me 13,60 eur anyway?
How much would it cost to pay in advance to the UK?

Any ideas?

I need to know this to get a chip removal tool.

Banktransfers from one EU country to another should not cost one penny more then a banktransfer within your country. That is defined by EU law. Some banks still "offer" the old way of transfering and it is perfectly legal for them to charge this much, but upon request they should make a standard EU-transfer with no additional costs. Any hornest bank should handle it like that right away without you specially requesting it.

What was I thinking? (Did my brains ever work anyway?)

It never occured to me that I had to deal with international costs, untill I saw the overview of my bankaccount.:-o
I will ask my bank why they charge that much, and I will let them explain to me how I can do business without charges!

Thanks for the warning/suggestions.
