How come an Amiga 500 with Kickstart 1.3 will boot from an Z-II Trumpcard 500 (SCSI) then ..?

It ought to be possible to accomplish the same unmodified operation with Minimig/Arcade..

AmigaOS versions:
"Kickstart Version 1.3 improved little on its predecessor, the most notable change being auto booting from hard drives."

Yes its quite simple you just need to create your own AUTOCONFIG (tm) boot rom like all the other KS1.3 compatible autobooting HD's like the one you linked and include the scsi.device as found in the kickstart 2.05 rom or right your own replacement ;-)

So does Minimig support AUTOCONFIG (tm) ? :)

Shouldn't be too hard to implement otoh.

The ROM itself can be "duplicated" :p
