Amiga 1000 Zkick and 2 Meg Ram Expander

[mistermsk]

Hi All,

 I want to use Kickstart v2.04 (37.175) with my Amiga 1000. I am getting a hard drive for it and I kinda' wanted it like it was back in the old days when I had a 2500. Games I would play with v1.3 (with floppies) and the hard drive was totally formatted and used with kickstart 2.04. Anyway, I was looking around and I found ZKick.

What I want to know is do I configure the entire memory first, like it is, then run zkick or should I configure it for $f00000 to $f8ffff and then tell Zkick to use $f90000? If not, what would you recommend.

Thanks all. Twinkick does not appear to be able to work since it requires RAM at $200000 and my 2 Megs of Flash is not. I would hate soft kicking, too. But I see nothing for sale these days for ROM based kickstarts in an Amiga 1000.

Thank you, tone007. Just hit him up.

You have 2M Flash RAM in your A1000??

Yes. However, it is not auto configurable. It is part of my Turbo Amiga Cube with a Turbo Amiga CPU (CSA 00920) in it. The RAM Does not auto-configure. When I tried placing it down at $200000 by the AddMem program, it chokes. However when I put it where the original disk said to put it, it works fine.

I might still try to ZKick if I can not get the hardware. Anyway, how would I set the startup-sequence for it? I don't want it to keep on booting 2.04 each time it starts. Is there a way to say if 1.3 boot, if not continue?

Sure, I'll take a picture for amiga.resource.cx. Also, I meant Fast RAM not Flash RAM. Sorry.
