Sorry for inept n00bness, but i though WHDload was basically just for running game/app images from hard disk?
Please correct me if im wrong?

It is... cant think of any other reason for KS1.3 on an A600 other than compatibility with games. WHDload will give you that.

He may want to switch from kickstart 2 to kickstart 3.1 so he can still boot some un-WHDLoadable software

I only have 2MB of RAM in my A600 with the new trapdoor memory that's been added. Are the only options I have to run WHDLoad
  • the SRAM cards I can't find here in the States for a decent price
  • an A600 accelerator with onboard memory (which finding makes the above look like a piece of cake)???

on a 2MB A600 and WHDLoad you need to remove the Pre-Load option (view the icons) I even had issues with this on my A600 with 2MB Sram.

I now have a 4MB Sram pcmcia card wich I got real lucky find.

I think you will find billy that it would most likely be cheaper for you to get a european SRAM card one.

saying that I found this one, should fetch arround 25$
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...0%3D%26fvi%3D1

The items location is in Arnold MO, my missues used to live close to there i thinks...

I have to admit them srams in the states are asking upto $75 for a 2mb card... out of f*cking order!

heres one in the european market, it is likely to got for arround £15

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Memory-storage...QQcmdZViewItem

The last A600 CPU / Memory card on ebay sold for £127!!!!!! truely shocking!

hope it helps.

As has already been said, take out the pre-load option from the WHDload slave Icon tool-types and perhaps run some utils in a script to get back some RAM from Workbench before launching (Dont forget you CANNOT quit WHDload and return to workbench with a 68000) and it will work fine.

I was able to load just about any 512Kbyte WHDload game with my 2Mbyte A600
