I think there is no device for the A1200 KickRom socket at the moment. There is a work in progress Version here. I think there was also a unoffical poll (started by a user) if people want a KickFlash for the A1200, but they were never made.


Exactly what i had in mind that project ah and if i had the opportunity to buy it i would ..

Hmmmm....a search on AmigaKit's Canadian site turns up nothing relating to Kickflash.

Vesalia has something called the Kickflash OS4.  I don't know if that's the same thing.

How much did it cost on AmigaKit?


That kickflashOs4 would be it ..

Sounds like a great product....and not too expensive either.  So....is it easy for an non-technical person to use this?  Or does one need knowledge about how to assemble kickstart images, etc.

I'm hoping it's more like a "RAM DRIVE" i.e. you just dump a lot of patches, etc. onto it like a drive and it works.  I have no experience in compiling kickstart images.

Sorry guys I have no idea whether or not it works on an A1200 with a Zorro bus. IIRC only zorro "native" Amigas were listed as compatible when I bought it, but it may be worth checking with Jens.

@ral-clan

It was about $42 CAD.  Not bad. :)  You are right, it is no longer listed on their site...

Hopefully they will carry more in the future.  I wanted to order 2 actually.
