- Short: Boot with 1.3 Kickstart on newer machines
- Type: util/misc
- Uploader: lewis@gto.jsc.nasa.gov
-
- What is Kick1.3?
-
- Well it allows all those people with 2.x and 3.x of
- AmigaDOS to get back some compatibility with older programs.
- AmigaDOS 1.3 is arguably the most compatible of the various
- incarnations out there, and many games that fail on the AGA
- machines can be brought back to life with this program.
-
- If you have 1.x of AmigaDOS you won't need this
- program.
-
- To use Kick1.3, you must convert this program back
- into binary. First UUDECODE this file, then use DMS's WRITE
- option to place the program onto a blank disk.
-
- Reset your machine, place the disk in df0: The disk
- will run and the Kickstart files copied into RAM.
-
- When the message
-
- All Operations Okay - Kicking Up
-
- appears, the screen will flash grey as the machine reboots,
- remove the disk from the drive. (DO NOT KEEP THE DISK IN THE
- DRIVE, THE PROGRAM *WILL NOT* WORK!!!).
-
- If the program has run successfully, you will get the
- KickStart 1.3 prompt. This program does *NOT* emulate the
- Workbench, if you have a program that boots from Workbench,
- you will need a copy of Workbench 1.3 (which IS the copyright
- Commodore).
-
- LEGAL NOTICE.
-
- This program has been produced in agreement with
- Commodore, it was distributed on the cover of CU Amiga magazine
- and *IS* PD.
