3.1 Roms
Are the Roms from an A4000 the same as the ones in a 1200?

errr...
I thought the A1200 Kickstart 3.1 ROMs were the same as the A4000 ones....My (admittedly shitty) memory keeps telling me this is true |

The TOSEC dat file has (several) separate entries for the A1200 and A4000 3.1 roms, so perhaps they are slightly different. There are also a few versions - 40.068 (A1200 and A4000 versions), 40.069 (A1200), and 40.070 (A4000 and A4000T). I'm sure theres no noticable difference though, esp with those tiny changes in version numbers

Yep I suppose each have different revision numbers, but you could theoretically use the same ROMs in a 1200 or a 4000.
There were special roms for 68000 machines though. On second thought they might be for non AGA machines. What if I upgrade my A600 to a 68030? I doubt Id need a kickstart change! |

You wouldn't need to upgrade your Kickstart either way because all M680x0 processors are (theoretically) backwards compatible

Well I suppose what I really need to know for definate is, could the roms from a 4000 be fitted into an A1200 ok?

But you said "40.070 WON´T work !". That's not true. Only 40.070 from the A4000T won't work. 40.070 from the A4000D should work fine.

Hey, and why would 4000T roms not work on a 1200?
(just curious ) |

Oh yeah. I forgot to reply to this thread
I did some research The A4000 has different ROMs to the A1200, so Kick3.1 is not interchangeable between them |

"> A1200 ROM`s do not always work in A4k`s the otherway around works fine 95% of the > time. " So it looks like some body has got A4000 roms working ok in a 1200 |
