If you downloaded your revision of Kickstart from the internet then chances are that the ROM needs to be byte swapped first before we can burn it. No additional preparations are needed for these versions. On my Mac in a terminal window I just use the following to concatenate multiple files into one. These ROM images are all 256K-bytes so we must first concatenate them into a 512K-byte ROM in order to fill up the space of the EPROM. MX27C4100 as well as other compatible EPROMs have 512K-bytes of space so depending on the version of Kickstart you plan to burn, you have to make some additional preparations.

That aside, I know that its possible to patch the 1.3 Kickstart with SCSI device drivers and then be able to boot Workbench 1.3 from the IDE but I didn’t want to mess with all of that, didn’t have the patience and just really needed to test if the IDE part of my IDE / 8MB Fast RAM combo worked.Īs with all things that I try to do, I find bits and pieces of information that I tend to compile into a fully working solution.

I found myself needing to update my Amiga 500 to Kickstart 3.1 to support my IDE device, which is a combo IDE / 8MB Fast RAM and uses an SD to 2.5 inch IDE adapter to utilize a 2GB micro SD card.
