A4000T rom - very different to other Kickstarts?

MethodGit · 25 April 2007, 02:42

Sorry if this is the wrong forum for such a topic, but I couldn't really think of anything better. Feel free to move it if necessary.

Is it just me or was the Kickstart rom for the A4000T built very differently to the A4000 and lower?

I mean trying to use it with a WB environment tends to lead to numerous errors relating to a certain library not being found etc. Am I right on this?

Yes. A4000 and A4000T are very different motherboards. A4000T has the onboard scsi, which A4000 lacks. Therefore workbench.library ws moved from rom and it was loaded from disk on A4000T systems. There is an additional module called findWB or something like that for that purpose if I'm not mistaken.
