It's not with a big company or anything, it's not like you'd benefit from
it at all by knowing who I'm talking to..

/me points towards Neil, or failing that, http://www.free4all.co.uk -
25Mb of space, will host domains, CGI, SSI and on Linux/Apache....

Damn. there must be a way around the ROMs. Perhaps starting up in Mac OS
with a patch so that early in the startup it gives a choice as to
whether you wish to startup as a mac or am Amiga? Though, the USB
probably wouldn't be initialised at this point so no way of making a choice.
Perhaps altring the ROMs, the way that the various companies alter the
engine management ROM's on a car, neatly sidesteps the need for copying
them (the ROMs) and annoying Apple.
Or piggybacking some Amiga ROMs with the Mac ones on a special adaptor board?
Or perhaps the nasty route of starting up fully as a Mac and resetting
the machine, specifically looking for Amiga OS.

Oh, that's easy. Drop into Open Firmware with ctrl+option+o+f and then set
the boot environment variable to an OF boot load program. When the
machines boots OF will load and run that rather than going through the Mac
boot sequence, and that boot program should then load the OS kernel. Quik
and Yiff do this for Linux - it's competely possible to bypass MacOS
entirely, and we have several Macs here without a shred of it on hard
drive to prove it :)

Hello All,
I know that the afb list isn't meant for this kind of thing, and if I do upset
anyone then I do apologize, but desperate needs mean desparate measures.
Did anyone on this list happen by chance to record Saturdays edition of Dad's
Army on BBC 1.
If so could you please mail me off list.
All the best
Colin

Mmm. The Blue Lotus, Page 61 (second to last), 2nd Row, 4th Cell -
newspaper subheading: Hara-Kiri.
Is it possible there is a typo elsewhere in the book/series?
Back On-Topic - I think a redesign of the Amiga web site can tell us a
lot about Amiga Inc's aspirations, even if the content is the same.
