I'm lost, if it is a ROM, a kickstart ROM, then you don't need to copy it into ram (softkick) as a software patch.  You need to copy the ROM into RAM and reset your pointers (FastROM), if that is what you are intending to do.


Calling a kickstart a ROM is a misnomer. The Amiga 1000 WOM is another good example. How useful is Write Only Memory?

Haha, it was "Write Once", not "Write Only".  :lol:


The WOM acronym was already taken before C= stole it for the Amiga 1000. Apple and Signetics documentation shows WOM as "Write Only Memory".
