How can I grab the kick.rom from my A3000 with 68040 board?

25 March 2011, 19:35

Hi all,
I'm new to this forum, but not to the Amiga.
I would like to transfer the kick.rom image from my 3000 for use in winuae.
Booted up my Amiga, after loading the Transrom to a floppy readable in PC0.
That's where the trouble starts. I transferred the Transrom to RAM with DOPUS, then opened a shell and typed in the recommended command:
RAM: TRANSROM RAM:KICK.ROM.
The computer goes into a frenzy of data flashing all over the screen, until I have to reboot.
I have a PPS 68040 board with 16MB Ram on it. My ROMs show as 3.1.
Can anyone tell me specifically how to grab my Kick.rom image to use in winuae?

Thanks for any help with this.
Ken

The right command is

ram:transrom >ram:kick.rom

Transrom prints the ROM data to the standard output channel which by default is the DOS window it was started from. The > sign redirects the output into the named file.

Thanks Thomas!
That worked. Image is on the floppy.
Hopefully, I can get the WinUAE working.
