Soft Load KS3.1 so that OS3.9 can run on KS3.0 A1200
« on: January 14, 2003, 06:08:39 PM »
Someone told me that it should be possible to load KS3.1 from the hard drive, much like how Relokick works to load KS1.3 for old games.  

The point being is to use OS3.9 on an Amiga 1200 with KS3.0.  I have OS3.9, and I have Amiga Forever, which includes KS3.1.

Anyone know if this possible?  I can't afford to buy KS3.1 chips for at least a month.

Thank you,

Neofree

I would like to try and do this if possible.  Can you advise what software I would need?

And why did you revert back to OS3.1?  For games I can understand.  But OS3.9 having things like archiver, browser, movie player, audio cd player, etc, it seems easier to load OS3.9 then to load these seperately.

Well I don't have Blizzard board, so I guess I can't use Blizkick.  I wonder if Relokick would work, as I have that already.

I'm not sure how it would work.. I gues boot Relokick floppy and then once it loads take it out and system reboots to HD.  Kind of a pain, but I also want to try OS3.9.

Anyone else have any comments?

I have a GVP A1230 II Turbo+.  It's an 68EC030 40mhz, with 8mb of RAM.

I've found a program callked MKick on aminet, but it seems to require KS1.2/1.3.  I'm not sure how to use Relokick on KS3.1, as it seems to be hardcoded for 1.3, (hence the executable Kick13).

I just read that this GVP board has the ability to remap Kickstart from ROM to RAM to speed up system, and doesn't require MMU.  Maybe this could be used somehow?
