- NAME
- KickBlizz -- A program for loading kickstart images in the
- Blizzard 1230IV accelerator card for the A1200.
-
-
- SYNOPSIS
- KickBlizz KICKFILE/A,FORCE/S
-
- DESCRIPTION
- Kickfile should be obvious, the FORCE switch allows you to re-load
- an image that`s already loaded. The kickstartimage may be both
- 512kb and 256kb!
-
- REQUIREMENTS
- A Blizzard 1230IV with MapROM enabled. If you want this to work
- on other Blizzardcards, just do the following: Disable MapROM,
- and use showconfig. Enable MapROM and use showconfig again. Send
- me both outputs, and I`ll see what I can do!
-
- BACKGROUND
- When I got my Blizzard card, I was suprised to notice that my
- kicker won`t work. So I had a closer look on that MapROM feature,
- and 5 mins later KickBlizz was born. It works now fine for ~2
- months here, and pure lazynes prevented it to be the first on
- Aminet :-/ But it still has one uniqueness: Also Kick1.3 images
- (256kb ones) are supported.
-
- TO DO
- If a (bad) program overwrites the place where the image is, your
- whole kick will be destroyed, and you`ll have to switch your Amiga
- off and on. I wrote a program, that allowed you to disable the
- kickstart if it`s destroyed, but it worked only one time (sorry?).
- So I should it make to work everytime :)
