Yup, that fake 40.71 is a slightly hacked 40.70 A4000(D) ROM.
Nothing more than a few changes to some strings, and a version bump.

If you want the real story on it, load it up and start looking at the libraries that are resident with it. It's quite interesting from that perspective.

Are you thinking of the v43 ROMs that were in the Walker prototypes?

 There's no relationship between the kickstart version and the machine it's made for.
eg. There was a 40.70 for the A4000D, but it had problems with scsi.device when used with some CPU cards, so they dropped back to 40.68

IIRC, there was a similar situation with the A3000 too.

The video was taken down by the author because of causing trouble with AInc/Reedsmith because they thought the author had really manipulated their ROM's/Kickstart Disk - infringing their copyright in their POV.

I was told their complaint was 'manipulation of copy protection'
Since there's no copy protection in the ROM or the 3.5/3.9 ROMUpdate files,I'd love to see Amiga Inc try and prove that one in court.
