KiskStart image

[melott]

Hi..
 I have a problem.. I have an A3000 Softkick machine.
 I upgraded Workbench to 3.1 several years ago but
 did not get a SuperKickstart disk with it. I am still
 using the 2.04 file that came with the machine.
 Does anyone have the A3000 -3.1 file?
 I own the software so it shouldn't be illegal if
 someone was to EMail it to me, or where can I
 download it???

Unfortunately, the physical 3.1 rom chip must be purchased in order to legally use wb3.1 with a ROM image.  Also it won't do you much good if you own an AGA or A1000/500/600 Amiga with 3.1 roms as the ROMS differ for those machines than from the A3000.

Your best bet is to scour e-bay for used 3.1 roms, or check with your local Amiga dealer to see if they have any in stock.  Price isn't that terrible at approx. $40 USD.

The illegal route that Paul_Gadd is coaxing you on may not work depending on which Amiga model the rom was grabbed from.

LOL...Never did care much for the stuff myself.  I'll stick to my herbal tea if I want herbage and barley and hops if I want to refreshment. :-)

Hi...
  I'm not sure you understand what I am saying.
  The A3000 Softkick machines take a special
  Kickstart. My machine CANNOT be booted up
  without this Kickstart (SuperKickstart). When
  it is first set-up the kickstart is copied from the
  disk to the harddrive then it will boot from the HD.
  My machine has NO burned-in rom. It does have
  its advantages, I can boot from 1.3 or 2.04 just by
  holding the mouse buttons on start up. I don't
  beleave normal machines can do that without
  a rom switcher. My machine came from
  Commodore like this. Its an early A3000, before
  they burned the roms for them.
  So I beleave it is perfictly leagal for someone
  to supply me with the kickstart file as I DO own
  the software (perchased from Software Hut).
  The Kickstart image from a rom chip won't
  work. It has to be from an A3000 softkick.
  There is some added code to make it reconize
  the Harddrive, thats why just grabbing an image
  from an A500 or A2000 or whatever will not work.

Hm interesting, did C= also produce special softkicked SuperKickstarts of Kick 3.x? You sure AGA 3.1 kicks won't work?

-edit-

Is this file on aminet of any help?  :-?

[KennyR]

Hmm...Zadoc doesn't like drugs, you do. Zadoc can spell and makes sense when he posts...you don't. Connection?

[melott]

Thats the problem....
 I am perty sure that grabbing the image from an aga machine won't work, as I said, the added code wouldn't be there. I hadn't realized this machine was
such a novelity when I bought it (new).
 I pulled a program from Aminet by a guy in Germany
that will format the floppy and prep it for the
kickstart file, BUT I need the file, he didn't include
it. I guess he was correct in doing so. But that doesn't solve my problem. I don't see any legal
reason why I shouldn't have it, as I said, I do own
a legal copy of WB 3.1. When I bought it Software Hut
said they didn't have any copies of the Kickstart disk.
So as a result I beleave I didn't get everything I payed for.
 Still NEED HELP

@melott

Just use GOOGLE.

[iamaboringperson]

they should of thought about A3000(older one) users!
they could of put the kickstart image on the CD of AOS3.5/3.9, or perhaps the support site

i had a similar problem with the AmigaOS CD, they left out workbench.library!!!! and im an A4000T user!

[blobrana]

Very strange, i certainly haven`t heard about your type of machine...

All the machines a far i was i`m awareall amigas had rom chips (500 and up)

Any photos of the MoBo?
