How to softkick a Amiga 500 hdd on bootup
« on: January 28, 2004, 08:46:08 AM »
Hi guys,

I have an Amiga 500 with a harddrive attached to it. The machine has a Kickstart 1.3 in it, which isn't a problem because then I can play all my old games. But I only wan't to use the Kickstart1.3 chip when running games from floppy, and mayby run OS2 or OS3 when I'm running from the harddrive.

The question is how to do? I have downloaded ZKick (at least this is how I think it's called) and I have a kickstart image from my Amiga 600.I have thought of putting the following line in the beginning of the startup-sequence of a 2.0 installation.

If
   Kickstart eq Kickstart1.3
      C:ZKick DEVS:Kickstart2.0
Else
(rest of the startup-sequence)
EndIf

I'm pretty much sure this will work, if I can get the right information to put instead of Kickstart and Kickstart1.3. If anyone have the codes for this, then I would be happy to hear from them.
