Kikstart 2.04 vs. 2.05 on an A500...
« on: September 24, 2007, 07:11:09 PM »
Are there any advantages\disadvantages to running Kikstart 2.05 on an A500 over kikstart 2.04?

I have both KikRoms just wondering which is better to use?

Thanks in advance.

I think the only difference (and correct me if I'm wrong)

Is that the 2.05 version has the A600s IDE device driver in it and the 2.04 doesn't..

There are a few additions to 2.05, that the A500 can't use - so it really makes no difference. Some ide info, PCMCIA support...
I've got a 2.05 ROM in an A500, only because I couldn't find a 2.04 back then. It seems to work OK.....

If you build an A600/1200 compatible IDE port into the A500, the 2.05 (37.350) rom can autoboot from it. :-)

Otherwise the machine doesn't really care about the A600 specific bits in the ROM.
