Boot Roms Query

Hi All,

Just getting into the hang of WinUae (total noob), purchased AmigaForever 8. I have a blizzard 1230/3 and i am looking for the bottom for my card for setting up an accurate system. Also have OS4.1 and looking for the PPC rom file. Apologies if this has been asked before, i have looked in the zone and cannot find them. I have found other posts looking for the boot roms. would anyone be able to help/point me in the right direction? Thanks

Toni usually uploads an archive to The Zone!

...but the latest file is long gone from there.

It would be on the EAB File Server; but as you've probably read, this is closed while we remove any "not permitted" files that we were not aware of.

Obviously I still have access so have downloaded / uploaded the following to The Zone! for you:
expansion_boot_roms [AccessX 2000 (original scrambled), Microbotics HardFrame v1.9].zip

Note that you don't gain any speed accuracy or not much any kind of accuracy that "normal users" need by configuring Blizzard 1230 (or any other accelerator board)

It is mainly useful if want to use SCSI Kit or are developer and want to test some special software that depends on memory address range or SCSI stuff etc. (For example Blizzard RAM is neither Z2 nor Z3)

It mainly makes booting slower
