Would a Kickflash board solve the problem? Installing the needed modules on this one, and then no extra reboot is requiered. I'm just wondering if the ROM Update from BB2 and additional modules will conflict with anything MOS related?


Sort of... this is what I use.
MOS will only boot from a plain, unaltered Kickstart3.1, so you need to put a switch on the Kickflash
(on the write-protect jumper. When open, the flash is write protected, and will be loaded on bootup. When closed, the flash is write enabled, and will not be loaded on bootup. This can be hot-switched, but MOS requires a cold boot after running OS3.9 in order to get rid of the rekicked Kickstart from the Kickflash).

And btw, totally OT, but MOS supports 100mbit (RTL8139) network cards on Grex4000's with it's included driver.

Have you tryed the dear, old "ABCS Amiga Reset" tool chosing "Hard Reset"?



Nope, will try it sometime.

How fast is it? Did you also try MOSnet?

Haven't done any speed tests yet (my Amiga is currently 'under construction', should be up&running sometime next week), but it seems very fast with Genesis. I'll try MOSNet when I get it running again. (I'm also gonna buy a new RTL8139D card, to see if it works better with the OpenPCI driver than my old RTL8139A card. They're dead cheap anyway).
