Hello,
I am currently restoring my old Amiga 600HD, I bought a Furia, CF-IDE (and an SD-IDE) and CHIP ram expansion with an RTC. I'm waiting to have some time to recap it (hopefully soon).

Originally it comes with Kickstart 37.300 (limited at 40mb for the boot partition). Recently I also bought the digital download of 3.1.4 and a burnt
3.1.4 Kickstart.

At first it was not booting at all, reading around I found that the new expansion.library is the culprit, switching off the CPU caches and setting my SYS boot priority greater than 3 (before the CF card), I'm able to boot to maprom a custom Kickstart with the old expansion.library from 3.1 and a patched card.device found in a polish forum (I also found it linked here as cardres.lha).

Is there a way to avoid all these startup issues? I also tought about upgrading my Furia firmware to the last version, but, right now I don't have my tools.
