It seems like from what I've read, it's going to work for A3000s with superkickstarts, but we'll just have to see I guess... Last edited by Warty; 19 May 2021 at 19:56. Reason: Forgot the attachment. |

Come to think of it, I don't remember if we actually baked a SuperKickstart disk as part of the distribution. Hm... but https://aminet.net/util/misc/MakeSuperDisk.lha should see you through. |

If you cut corners, it can be fast. If you play the full game, things are not so impressive, you will be lucky to get 060 performance even on over clocked to 5GHz modern machines. And take into account ridiculously faster ram compared to the old tech of 30 years ago. We are stagnating on single core performance, so I don't see large improvements in that are for some time unless something special happens, |

"A3000's fitted with Kickstart V1.4 cannot use 040 or 060 processors, regardless of what version of Kickstart is eventually booted, because it relies heavily on the integrated MMU in the 030 which varies to some degree from the MMU in 040 and 060 processors." I know I'm getting in over my head on this ("fools rush in..."), but is this still true(?) that there's no stealthy way to add '040/'060 boot code into a pair of new physical 1.4 Kickstart ROMs (ROM space permitting) that redirect MMU control over to an installed '040/'060 accelerator and allowing you to boot?

If you are still thinking of this and ensuring it works, you have my sincere respect, I love that feature. There is only one thing I would ever wish for and that is for the Guru to return. It is a cool piece of history that belongs to the system. The term has made it outside the Amiga, with its own Wikipedia page, it is that cool. |

In any case, if you still have an A3000 Kickstart file in DEVS: you could extract the bonus code (the ROM is 524288 bytes in size and everything in excess of it is the bonus code), append it to the AmigaOS 3.2 Kickstart file and use the resulting file. It is that simple. Quote:

That said (I'm German and can't help it), I'm one for "form follows function" and merely relabeling something doesn't satisfy me. If the old name would come back, there should be more to it than just this change. |

I can handle putting these files together and the tool you have on aminet can create such floppies. So all is good, if the last 4K are still unused. |

I'm not sure if the source code for the hacked 2nd exec in the bootstrap ROM still exists, but at least a relocation table for it could be manually created in order to be able to build the new ROM. My educated guess here is that it might be feasible to have an 030/040/060 aware kickad module but the various CPUs would need matching bonuses, so your superkick file would have to be tied to a certain CPU. |

Well... that's a tough one for sure. As we all learned at a time, what makes you happy often isn't good for you and sometimes even does not make you happy once you have attained it. Not being able to seize what you were after is often part of what makes you return to the matter (buried treasures, childhood memories, unrequited love, etc.) over and over again until "the chase" becomes the thing and not so much what you were chasing after.
I am curious: how is happiness tied to something which is rarely seen, if at all, and if it is seen invariable means failure, defeat, desaster or loss? |

I’ve see a video and what is missing is a TCP/IP stack and an unarchiver (archiver) tools built in at least.
In that video we can see that French text are too long in some tools and so they don’t fit the gadget size. |

With TCP/IP stack I also noticed that, but it is probably not so easy to develop one and Roadshow is not fitting into current licence I think. |

I'd rather the TCP stack was kept separate. I mainly use winuae these days which does not need a TCP stack and when I do use my real Amiga I'd rather have the choice as to which one I want. |

Me personally, I loved reading about all those quirky things that made the Amiga the Amiga back in the day. That said, off course I am not happy about my system crashing. But if it does crash, it makes me smile reading that "Guru Meditation at " text, remembering that little story about RJ Mical and Dave Needle sitting down on their weirdo Meditation Board to calm down after a crash and then realizing the machine I am working on was created by really amazing people, who loved what they were doing and had fun coming up with these little quirks. For me these little things (Mac OS still has that shitty lo fi sample from back in the day on startup for instance) give character and life to something that otherwise strives to be a streamlined to the hilt experience. That's all... |

Which is one big reason why it isn't bundle. If you want RoadShow, go buy it, it isn't that difficult.
