YAKS - Yet Another Kickstart Switcher

Hello, sorry for my ugly English, but I'm Italian and don't understand/write German so ....

I would like to contribute here with my version of YAKS (Yet Another Kickstart Switcher) for A500/600/2000.

Follows a quick description of the board:

it can hold up to two additional KS images, other than the original ROM in passthrough socket on the left.

Kickstarts can be switched:
- by mean of an electrical switch (if you don't mind modifying you case)
AND/OR (better option)
- by pressing and holding CTRL+LAmiga+RAmiga for more than 4 (or whatever amount of time you want) secs

When switching KS image, the board emits an acoustical signal (one, two ore three "beeps", according to witch KS image is going to be selected).

The board keeps record of the selected KS when you power off the Amiga, so at next power up, you keep the last KS you selected (until you switch again).

Below a few pics of the board.

For who may ask "why you put two ugly PLCC32 flash chips onto an smd board ?", the answer is: "because I had plenty of them in a drawer of my workdesk".

Just wondering if someone could be ineterested in the project, I did mainly for my own fun.
