1. setup a barebones pc with a cheap old mobo- socket7 or so with keyboard and monitor and floppy.

2. get eeprom chip same size you need.

3. get ziff socket same size as eeprom as mobo bios.

4. romove bios chip from mobo put in ziff and put ziff on mobo

5. get bios burner off internet for mobo.

6. startup pc with original bios.

7. go into bios

8. change all ram and bios caching options on

9. restart mobo

9. load burn disk

10. put image to burn on disk (amiga rom image)

11. change burn image from pc update bios to amiga bios name (you might have to change kickroms name)
 
12. just before you burn image open ziff and put in eeprom to burn to.

13. burn image

14. shut down remove eeprom  and replace with original.

I have not used this to burn amiga kickroms because i have never needed it to but I have burned other stuff. you might have to modify the above sequence depending on the motherboard setup. i also have not checked rom pinouts and stuff. this procedure has been used for years to burn game roms for old consoles. i thought i was so clever when i came up with it, then i found out that at least one other person had done it before. use this flipped out knowledge at your own risk.

Oh yeah?!?

as long as the pinout is the same the eprom length doesnt matter usually. since the code will only address what it uses. however if you use a larger eprom than you need it overlap areas of your memory map and cause crashes.  :-o

my sons are watching me write this stuff thats why im using smilies and stuff :-D  :lol:
