Where do I buy Amiga 1200 kickstart 3.9?

Than you would call a 3.1 ROM a 3.0 ROM with some 3.1 updates and a 3.0 ROM a 2.0 ROM with some 3.0 updates...
 

Real men have a kickstart floppy. ROM chips are for posers and imitators

Why? So one day someone format that disk by mistake, or the floppy disk dies out...or you lose the floppy disk or it get damaged somehow? No thanks, placing it in a durable hardware inside a case is more secure for me thanks enough. Plus I find it super annoying to boot form kicktstart first before booting from workbench or game..no thank you.

Kickstart 3.9 doesn't officially exists but the newer modules from OS3.9's BB2 "AmigaOS ROM Update" that resides in Devs folder can be used to replace the older Kickstart 3.1 modules to form it.

These modules are the following:



Using these instead of the 3.1 ones (as I wrote to my guide) will grant you a Kickstart 3.9 ROM that you can use it via kicking it (like for example with ACA accelerator's ACATune utility) or burn it into real 1MB EPROMS and mount it on your Amiga replacing the former Kickstart 3.1.

It works just fine and I've been using many of those for years

Can you try this for me on your system:

Hold two mouse buttons down on boot.  Boot with no startup. Type LoadWB in the shell window.  Tell me what happens?

No way!!
Kickstart floppies all the way!

Yes, I have broken my kickstart disk, but I have a backup.
Popping it in gets me up and running in seconds.
Ruin your kickstart chip, you MAY have a backup, but swapping it out takes longer..

See, kick floppies win again!!!  :roflmao::roflmao:

And even replacing a dead floppy drive is easier than replacing a kickstart ROM.  A few screws and a cable.  Ta Da..

Ok i tested this on my WinUAE test environment on an ClassicWB 68k installation...

This is ClassicWB 68k with 3.1 Kickstart loaded...



This is ClassicWB 68k with my generic 3.9 BB2 Kickstart loaded...



This is where I selected "Boot without Startup Sequence"



This is where I type "LoadWB" in the Shell window



...and here is WB3.1 loaded but with limited capabilities and colors since nothing from the normal Startup-Sequence was loaded.



Under my OS3.9 clone environment installation in WinUAE, either clicking "Boot without Startup-Sequence" or not... always loads the full system. Weird... but dunno
