Official Kickstart Roms - Cloanto/Hyperion

[antiriad76]

Assuming that the last "Official" KS 3.1 was 40.68 does anyone know what other "Official" ROMs have been released?

It seems that CLOANTO had made a few modifications

This is the latest Info from Cloantos webpage:

The current 3.X ROM (45.64) builds on the original 40.68 ROM components, featuring the following improvements:

    Patches originally released under the ESCOM and Gateway Amiga ownership (no SetPatch or reboot required)
    scsi.device and exec.library updates by Alexander Benedictov, Chris Hodges, Heinz Wrobel, Jeff Weeks and Toni Wilen
    expansion.library fixes by Jeff Weeks
    FastFileSystem fixes by Etienne Vogt
    mathieeesingbas.library fixes by Harry "Piru" Sintonen
    Fix to floppy drive issue affecting some systems in version 45.061

Also recently Hyperion released Kickstart 40.72

exec.library 40.12
Updated the copyright information text
Fixed a small bug in the memory pools code which mirrors the same bug fix in the same code that was used in amiga.lib.
strap 40.3
The Boingball logo replaces the rainbow-coloured checkmark logo. Slightly brighter background colour.
workbench.library 40.6
Rebuilt with SAS/C 6.59 in order to free up more ROM space because the copyright text in the updated exec.library. No other functional changes.
scsi.device 40.21 for A600
Small bug fix to the IDE task initialization, which now makes it possible to use it on the A600. Older Kickstart ROMs would use scsi.device version 39, because unlike version 40, it did not crash on the A600.
scsi.device 40.21 for A1200
Same binary as used for the A600

The Cloanto ROM excludes the workbench.library and the Hyperion has it included.

Which if the 2 would you consider that is the best one. The other option is also to create your custom Rom

Thanks

If I had to choose from those two, I'd probably run the Hyperion ROM. The cloanto one seems to break some compatibility.

Just purchased and registered the Hyperion 40.72 ROM set.

IMO the names say it all: Hyperion's is an update for 3.1 while Cloanto's aims more towards 3.9 and beyond.
