- Hey I need help....I have an A200 with 2.05roms, I also have a gvp 030
- accelerator (33) fpu mmu with 4 megs 32 bit fast ram. Is there a simple
- rekick-like program that i could use to kick the patched kick40068
- kickstart or the kick40063 kickstart (I have the rtb and pat files for
- this one). The main problem is that i have the fast memory at $1000000 not
- $200000. The only kicker program that I have
- found that deals with this is skick (on aminet) however i cant seem to get the
- patch file to work. whenever i use the 'patch on' command from gui i get a
- pastel yellow screen which survives reboot and sometimes even several cold
- starts. When i do not use the patch, there seem to be lots of errors and
- pogram shutdowns (gurus) when i use certain commands.
- So it seems that the particular kickstarts i have require the patch but i
- cannot rekick with the patch.I have tried the following kickprograms from
- aminet with no luck (most require a 1.3 rom or a A3000) :
- mkick,softboot,rekick(cant find my fast ram).loadkick,setcpu and set-cpu.
- I have a 286 pc board which has some mem at $200000 which confounds the issue.
- What can I do?? please help as I am at the end of my rope.
- Perhaps a different kickstart will do the trick, if so where do i go
- about getting one?
- Thanks for your help
