Subject: Re: Kickstart ROMs (was Re: New Amiga toy)
Some upgrades (like my 68030/50) allow a different kickstart to loaded on
bootup with a utility. I think the utility is called relokick or something
like that. Some people use this to run older kickstarts for game
compatibility, others do it to installed newer a newer OS. Since the person
asking is in the UK I recommend a European EBAY seller since those kinds of
things are cheaper to find in Europe then in the US.
I recommend you checkout the EAB (English Amiga Board Forum) at http://
eab.abime.net

have).
Has anyone got a spare 3.1 ROM they'd like to sell?
The drive has Amiga OS 3.5 on it doesn't it? If so, doesn't that
system have 3.1 Rom's already (at worst you've got 3.0, but I'd think
in any case with a 4000 that the odds are 3.1).
Your best bet will be either eBay, or one of the Amiga dealers in the
UK. I was going to suggest Eyetech, but just checked their website,
and they don't have anything listed (in fact they hardly list
anything anymore). In the US, you can buy them from Software Hut
http://www.softhut.com a set is about $42US.
