Custom Kickstart ROMs

Before me, nobody here talked about capacitors...

thats simply not true, people are well aware of the problem. maybe not worldwide, but if you read german forums..

Oh really ? I didn't know. I have other ennemies ?

you can simply go and buy these capacitors in an electronic store, nothing complicated about that. the hard part is to solder them, or rather desolder the old ones without damaging the traces.

Yes : in 2010 at Essen, a friend of mine asked directly (no emails) in this show mister Tevor Dickinson about the release of a new physical Kickstart. His answer was NO : nobody have the rights, and blablabla !

there is aros kickstart. its free and its open. help to improve it and we will have a valid replacement. if i can help there a bit (i hope) then a proper coder surely can do more. one just need to be civil and cooperative.

lol !

I read many Amiga forums every days since the very beginning of the internet, and as far I remember, no capacitors discussions on them before my blog...

And in my quiet big town, the two electronic stores don't sell SMD capacitors...

cmon. dunno where you live, but in berlin i can go to conrad few streets futher or buy them online, i know, cause i did.

No, of course not. But without a kickstart in it, it is rather pointless. The question then, of course, whether the potential buyers of such hardware also have a valid licence for the kickstart they want to burn/flash.

the threats and blocking attitude against this kind of projects is not likely to have any legal standing. this is just kind of early precaution to demotivate developers before they even get anywhere. we see that kind of behaviour a lot around here, and everybody knows where the flack comes from.

not complaining about anything. just an observation.
