Amiga ROMS - Burning Eproms

[Ferry]

Talking about Amiga ROMs:

Is it possible to burn a 1MB EPROM set for Amiga1200? One of the things I hate about the new versions of AmigaOS is that they have their workbench.library on disk instead of in ROM. I would like to try to "cook" an EPROM 3.2 with workbench.library in it. Has anyone tried it? I think the A1200 accepts 1MB ROMs, doesn't it?

If it is, there's even room for more things……

Is it better to keep the original icon.library or can it be used the PeterK one? 🤔

I find it a step in the wrong direction to leave workbench.library outside the ROM, in LIBS:. Many Amiga users, me for one, do have different media and configs to load from (CF, ZIP, JAZ, PCMCIA FlashRAM, µSD… even bootable CD!), be it current one (WB v3.1.4/v3.2.x) or not, but if you try to load a WB3.9/3.5/3.1 on an Amiga with ROM version ≥ 3.1.4, it simply won't load, complaining about a missing workbench.library, not in ROM, not in LIBS:.

I can understand the space problems, a ROM with ever growing libraries, to the point of not having enough room to fit them all in, but I guess other solutions can be found (compressed libraries?) instead of leaving mandatory libs out.
