Blizkick Modules in ROM image

[motorollin]

Is it possible to insert Blizkick modules in to a kickstart ROM image? The reason I ask is that I have a set of 27C400 EPROMs and a chip programmer coming my way soon. I'm going to burn the 3.9 ROM image I am currently Blizkicking on to the chips, and I want to include some Blizkick patches.

Also, is there a Blizkick module which gives access to CD-ROMs? It would be cool to insert this in to a ROM image and burn it to a chip so the CD-ROM drive would be available from cold boot (and bootable without a floppy disk?)

I was thinking about it one day.  Has anyone or a group ever tried to write on open rom image?  One that could be compatable with Amiga roms, and could be distributed free with an emulator or even burnt to a chip.  Even put into the Minimig(if in production).  The idea came to me while looking over source code for Emutos( An open Atari TOS image).

Just answered my first question by using Remus to insert BlizKick's NoClick module in to my 3.9 image. BlizKicked the new image, and my floppy drive was silent  :-D

Just need to find out if there is a ROM patch to mount devices, so my CD-ROM would be visible from cold boot.

Didn't work :lol:

Just found MountCD on Aminet, which is a command which mounts a CD-ROM in such a way that it remains resident. I wonder whether this technique could be used to create a CD-ROM kickstart module?

MountCD takes the mountlist as an argument, e.g. mountcd cd0:. I suppose the mountlist and CD filesystem would have to be inserted into the kickstart image as well with standard names, so the mountcd module could find and mount it.

hello,

I would like to do the same thing for my 1200.
But what kind of eprom 27C400 do you use (120DC,150DC...).

[motorollin]

I bought these chips, this programmer and this 16-bit adapter for the programmer. Hope they work! :-) Will report on my progress once it has all arrived.

Still hoping for an answer about a MountCD kickstart module. Piru are you here? :-) Maybe Oliver Kastl is still around?

Open BlizKick.guide, click "introduction", click "applypatch". That is what BlizKick itself provides.

RomSplit and Remus can do more.

Bootable CD-ROM? Honestly I have no clue.

[motorollin]

Thanks Piru. Have managed to insert the module with Remus, which I find a bit more friendly.

Do you know if Oliver Kastl is still involved with the Amiga at all? If so, I will contact him and see if any source code is available for MountCD.

Just tried to email olli@elaborate-bytes.com, and the mail was returned undeliverable :-(
