- Hi all !
-
- I'm the happy owner of an A3000/16, going soon to upgrade to KS/WB 3.1 .
- Just a few days ago I realized that I don't have a backup copy of KS 2.04
- (the A3000 is soft-kicked, of course) and while I could be Ok with WB
- 2.04 (I have the original disk set for A2000) should anything be lost, it
- would be very hard to actually start up the machine without the proper KS
- disk.
-
- So I took GrabKick and MKick 1.8 and tried to create a KS disk. I "grabbed"
- the KickStart, used MakeKickDisk to build a suitable (or so I believed) KS
- disk and rebooted while pressing the two mouse buttons. I chose to boot
- with KS 2.04 from floppy, inserted my brand-new KS disk and waited. The
- drive started to grind, the LED went on and off, but nothing happened,
- apart of the "Insert a Super Kickstart Disk in drive DF0:". So:
-
- 1) What did I do wrong?
- 2) What's a Super-Kickstart disk different in from a plain KS disk?
- 3) Can (and how?) I build one?
- 4) Thanks
