Question about flashing Kickstart ROMs

[dangermouse]

Hi

I've always just bought them from people but figured it's about time I did it myself as, judging from the number of people who do it, it can't be that hard. I do have a Software, not Hardware, Engineering background so maybe I'm wrong.

So...I just want to know how it's done, what kit is needed and where to buy said kit?

Also, how are various chips replaced? Is it a case of you have to buy the chip preprogrammed or do you buy a 'blank' and program it yourself? I'm thinking the chips affected by the typical A4000 battery damage area etc.

My apologies if my questions are a bit noobish but I've often wondered how it all works and figured this forum is as good a place as any to find out

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough but yes I meant 'create' my own Kickstart ROMs from blanks. I know hardware engineers at a place I used to work referred to it as burning the ROM; I use the term 'flashing' but obviously that causes confusion.

Thanks for the replies anyway so far guys...time to go read that EAB thread
