There are utilities like Zkick and ykick and twinKick on Aminet.net but for some reason I have had no success in recent tests as I am trying to do the same thing.

However, in the early nineties I had kickstart 2 and OS 2 running on this same A1000. However I am having trouble replicating it. I am getting a Zorro2 adaptor so I can add an A2000 ram/scsi card externally to give me loads of ram and room to add an 030.

By the way if you want to see my A1000 in action check out these videos.

The whole point of the kick start booters like the one I used before was that they map into fast ram and free up the 256 WOM memory to the main memory pool. It used to work.

Build a 512k WOM and burn new early startup roms.

If somebody will build this, I will buy it. As long as it is switch able between 1.3 and 3.1

+1 for Twinkick. Just be sure you have at least 2mb RAM though  :)


Tried TwinKick and the disk creator fails. Did not like my rom files created with GrabKick.

68000 socket in use with ADIDE and spirit ram board.

And I actually have 1.5mb fast ram. However, as I mentioned I had it running in the past. Used to load 1.3 from disk, then script kicked 2.0 rom into fast ram and freed 256mb rom memory and then launched wb2.0 from disk. This worked for ages but lost the drive over the year. Such a fool for losing CLtd scsi card to.

Still getting Zorro2 card adaptor for it and adding GVP scsi/8mb ram soon and hopefully an 030 as well then.

All I need after that is 2mb chip ram.

Super A1000, what a dream.

See her in Bletchley in June if nearby.
