Help gathering Kickstart info

[alexh]

Dunno if you remember but a few months ago I collected a lot of information about the Agnus chip, it is the least known chip and has the most variants. I got a great response and was able to help update BBoAH and other Amiga hardware sites.

This time it is Kickstarts. There is no definitive list anywhere, lots of partial lists (full of mistakes) and I want to try to get a complete reference.

This is what I have collected so far:

Kickstart 1.2
-------------
*1.2 500/1000/2000 (v      ): 315093-01

Kickstart 1.3
-------------
*1.3 500/1000/2000 (v34.5  ): 315093-02
 1.3 A3000         (v      ):

Kickstart 1.4
-------------
*1.4 A3000         (v      ): 390630-02 (High Word, ROM 1 V5) 9024
                              390629-02 (Low Word,  ROM 0 V5) 9029
Kickstart 2.04
--------------
 2.04 A3000        (v      ): 390630-01 (High Word), 
                              390629-01 (Low Word)
 2.04 A3000T       (v      ): 390630-02 (High word, ROM 1 V5) 9049,
                              390629-02 (Low Word,  ROM 0 V5) 9042 
 2.04 A3000        (v      ): 390630-03 (High Word),
                              390629-03 (Low Word)
 2.04 A500/A2000   (v37.175): 390979-01 (Requires Extra wire on some Amiga's) 
 2.04 A500/A2000:  (v      ): 363968-01

Kickstart 2.05
--------------
*2.05 A600         (v37.299): 391388-01
*2.05 A600         (v37.300): 391304-01

Kickstart 3.0
-------------
*3.0 A1200         (v39.106): 391524-01 (High Word, ROM 1), 
                              391523-01 (Low Word,  ROM 0)
 3.0 A4000         (v39.106): 319514-02 (High word, ROM 1, D16-D31),
                              319513-02 (Low Word,  ROM 0, D00-D15) 
 3.0 A4000         (v39.405):

Kickstart 3.1
-------------
 3.1 CD32          (v40.56 ): 391640-02 
 3.1 CD32          (v40.58 ):
*3.1 CD32          (v40.60 ): 391640-03
 3.1 500/600/2000  (v40.63 ):
*3.1 A1200         (v40.68 ): 391774-01, 
                              391773-01
 3.1 A3000/3000T   (v40.68 ): 
 3.1 A4000         (v40.68 ): 
 3.1 A4000T        (v40.70 ): 391658-01,
                              391657-01

What I am trying to do is collect the version, machine and part numbers together with any special requirements for all the different Kickstarts.

Some of the information here is gathered from reputable sources, others is just from stories, newsgroup posts etc.

Ones with a * next to them means I own those kickstarts and have manually verified them.

Some of the strange things are:

KS1.4 appears to have the same part numbers as KS2.04

16-bit KS2.04 appears to have different versions for different motherboards and if you got the wrong one you needed a flying wire to the gary (anyone know about this?)

A3000 usually had (at least) two versions of kickstart per release. One for use on new motherboards (or older ones with a ROM Tower) and one for older motherboards without a ROM Tower. I've no idea which are which.

This page http://www.amiga-stuff.com/hardware/2mbit-maskrom.html

Has some additional information but it seems in contrast to what I already know to be true.

391657-01 IC, 0ROM, 256Kx16, 150nS, Kickstart (high) Kickstart V3.1 40.70 (high)
391658-01 IC, 1ROM, 256Kx16, 150nS, Kickstart (low) Kickstart V3.1 40.70 (low)

Up to these chips all 32-bit kickstarts (which come in pairs) followed a scheme. Even part numbers were marked named ROM1 and were the high 16-bit word and odd part numbers were marked ROM0 and were the low 16-bits.

Now they suddenly change their scheme?

I dont think so, but can anyone confirm?

They may have changed, I think it was VillageTronic who championed and physically made KS3.1 wasnt it? Commodore had closed by this time?

Does your list also include "extended" ROMs?

My A570 has ROM chip with following markings:

COMMODORE-AMIGA
391298-01
(C) 1992 V2.30
9238 D

@Toni
Which source file contains the CRC for kickstart ROMS that are used in WinUAE?

memory.c

[dambuster]

1.3 CDTV 315093-02 as per 500 etc
CDTV U34 391008-01, u35 391009-01

I do have 3.1 roms + custom U34/35 chips in the cdtv if you need them i'll dig the cdtv out of the loft.
