As mentioned in my previous posting, I'm planning on putting Kickstart
into ROM on my A1000. I would like to be able to set it up so that I can
select either 1.2 in ROM, or the WCS so that I can boot 1.1 when I need
to. I don't need 1.1 often enough to put into ROM too (those 27512's are
still rather expensive!)
My question is: has anyone done this yet? Any brilliant ideas on how to
proceed?
I'd like to find a more elegant solution than hanging a switch out the
back of the Amiga case. I'd like to have some keypress combination
signal the machine to boot to the Kickstart prompt (maybe
CTRL-ALT-ALT-SHIFT-SHIFT, or something equally hard to hit :-)
Reclaiming the 256K of WCS for system ram is of no interest to me if
that makes anything easier. I've got the Developer's Conference notes,
and they help, but are more of a cookbook than a theory approach.
