Thanks Amigadave.  I currently have the A3000 with the boot tower and 1.4 roms.  Are you saying that I some places sell a sofboot version of kickstart 3.1?  I have heard it mentioned before but all I ever seen myself is A3000 kickstart chip ROMS.  If you know of a place that sells the sofboot version, please tell me where it is.  thanks.

Can sombody tell me the minimum kickstart required to run OS 3.1?


Getting a softboot Kick3.1 is easy!

All you need is a A3000 WITH Kick3.1-ROMs and the WB3.1 Install-Disk.
In directory c: you can find the "extractkickstart" tool.
With this tool you are able to create a A3000 superkickstart with kick3.1.
With this superkickstart you are able to boot Kick3.1 on a softboot A3000.

YES, COMMODORE RELEASED A KICKSTART-RIPPER WITH WB3.1 !!!

The downsides over a hard ROM are: you loose 512Kbytes of FastRAM and you cannot use an accelerator.



You can use a Blizzard 4030 @ 50Mhz ... and with softroms you are able to use Commodores Unix for the A3000.
