I use KS 3.1 now

Chicken / Egg principle. The new OS has the feature for larger drive support. I cannot install WB 3.1.4 on KS 3.1 knowing all the troubles it can create (even stated by the vendors themselves) and still be limited to the 4GB barrier.

You cannot use skick (a program to patch Kickstart into RAM) with KS3.1.4 (yet) because AFAIK there is no rtb file and you cannot use ones for other versions of KS.
Then why suggesting it?

Send the ROM file(s) away to be programmed into 2*27C400 EPROMs and replace your old KS ROMs. There are several EPROM vendors who will pre-program parts if you send them the data files
I hope we can eventually buy these rom chips from Hyperion. It kind of surprises me they did not combine this?
