Amiga 4000T Custom rom
Got a Romy with 4000T support, as I have a Cyberstorm 060/PPC attached to it as well.
This combination makes it difficult to make boot floppy because you have to add workbench library in addition to 040/060 libs as well. As of now I have OS 4.1 FE running on a real SCSI drive using Cyberstorms 68 pin SCSI connector. This works fine, but would also like to use OS 3.9 in dual boot. Here is the list of what I plan on using, but would like to hear if I have forgotten something, newer and better versions exists or if anything is redundant: Quote:
I used the ms-dos command dir > kick.txt to make this list. Don't know why size has the y with 2 dots on top. But does it look ok? And while I'm at it. Is it possible to use 2x1mb chips with max 512Kb on each. I should have 2 512Kb as well, and will use them if I can find them. Bought them more than I year ago, and not certain where they are. |

Looked it over quickley, so I'll take a closer look tomorrow, to see if there is something there that is newer than what I already have.

Thomas Richter's layers.library for AmigaOS 3.9 seems to work from ROM.
http://aminet.net/util/sys/layers.lha Algorithm changes provide a significant performance improvement even if the optimization level is lacking (can be at least 10% faster with optimizations). It may be faster and more reliable to use a 512kB kickstart with MAPROM from the CS. This is what I use on my 4000T (without workbench.library in kickstart) but I don't boot floppies anymore. |

Taken far to long this, but I finally got around to make these custom roms after life had gotten in the way of it.
Not burned the roms yet, but got them to work in fs-uae. This is the how the first one is: Quote:
Quote:
Got the workbench.library, so should I need to boot from a floppy drive at least it's easier now, than managing to get both workbench.library, and the 040 and 060 library to fit 1 floppy. I think I have the latest versions available, but if not please tell me. There is a bit more space left, particularly in the second rom, so any suggestions on useful things to fill it up would be welcome. This is for the 4000T, but should work on 4000D as well, but the scsi.device.43.45_SCSI can be dropped, as 4000D hasn't got that built in. This is to help out if anyone later would like to do the same. |

Have managed to get quite a bit further on my own, to the point where I have burned the roms, and also booted os 3.9.
It went pretty well, almost. There is a few issues I still have. This is what I ended up burning to HI(175) Quote:
Quote:
I also made an alternative one, that I currently have installed: Quote:
I did include the 040, but got a guru saying 040 libs should not be used. There is issues however. If I try Sysspeed or Sysinfo I get an error of either suspend or reboot. Also Directory opus 4 and another program I can't remember what is, refuses to start. They are missing mathieXX.library or can't use version 0 of them. As seen in HI rom I have regged versions of these in rom. I only have a skeleton setup as I needed to take the MB out of the case(custom case, not original A4000T case), and can't find the keyboard adapter. But rest seems to work. I really like to have this sorted as installing the MB in this particular case is a true pain in the ass. |

I am surprised you were able to get the 060.library in there, you generally aren't supposed to do that since it has to be loaded by setpatch. If you run setpatch after Workbench is loaded does it say in 68060 support code loaded? Or if you run showconfig does it show 68060 MMU/FPU?

I commented out any setpatch reference in S:startup-sequence.
To test it out. As I mentioned, I don't have a keyboard attached, so can't see what the results would have been. Will search tomorrow, and see if I can find the keyboard and try it out. |

Blizkick doesn't support 1mb roms. Only possibility to get rom to fast ram with Phase5 product would Thor's MuLibs - > MuFastRom

If you don't run setpatch then the 060.library is not loaded also lots of other stuff is not patched.
Even with a custom rom you still have to run setpatch just use setpatch NOROMUPDATE to avoid the reboot and to keep it from installing ROM modules. Also aside from an updated Fastfilesystem, you almost never want to install filesystems to a ROM unless you have a very rare situation calling for it. What happens when a new version of a filesystem comes out? Don't laugh it can still happen. |

When running showconfig it shows:
Quote:
You are correct, forgot I added the SetPatch NOROMUPDATE QUIET when setting it up under Winuae. When running SetPatch after Workbench is loaded, it doesn't mention CPU at all, only some graphics stuff, and ramlib sihnal usage and stack size check for various things. You can add the 040 and 060 library from Phase 5 to rom, though it will complain you already added the rom if you add both 040 new and old. It will also boot up with a pink screen(emulation, not tried real Amiga). What I mean is that Remus don't tell you it isn't rom able as it does with other things. The file systems was more a spur of the moment thing, as I had space left in the rom. |

So if Showconfig doesn't show the FPU and setpatch doesn't say 68060 support code loaded then the 060.library is not loading.

Wasn't a 060 libs necessary for a 060 CPU to be able to boot, but apparently I remember wrongly.
Anyway I take this one out, and make one with with the mathX libs as some programs wont work without them. I thought then regged versions replaced them, but doesn't look like it. |

No. No board has 060.library in ROM that I know of. I think on 3.1 IIRC with an 060 setpatch would crash if you only had an 040.library in libs.

Sorry, I was thinking of in Libs, and not in rom.
Should have made that clearer. |

Wouldn't having 3.9 rom as standard cause problem with OS4.1 ?
When I am using blizkick to kick my rom, later I am not able to boot into WB4.1 witout powering down the system first back to 3.1 rom |
