STOP PRESS!! This is an AmigaDOS 3 compatible program
Check is a helpful little utility which was written primarily for the
use of hard drive users who also have a ROM sharer with Kickstart 2.xx and
1.3. When I first purchased my ROM sharer and 2.04 chip, i was unaware of
the problems that would be involved. The first problem was that half of the
1.3 commands I had in the C: directory, kept crashing under 2.04. So, after
giving myself a 1meg partition for the 2.04 files, I then had the problem
of trying to get the system to boot under the correct partition. Hence
Check.
Check should be placed in the C: directory of you normal boot
partition . Check returns a WARN code if it detects the Kickstart version
that you specify. Therefore, it can be used in script files, and of course
in your startup-sequence.
An entry for Kickstart 2.04 should look like this:-
Check 37
IF WARN
Your 2.xx boot sequence goes here
ELSE
Your 1.3 boot sequence goes here
ENDIF
That's all there is to it!!
Usage:-
Check <Kickstart version number>
Do not enter the revision number. 34.5 should be 34
The way to check what your kickstart version numbers are:-
a) Use the "Version" progra
