- Author: sintonen@jyu.fi (Harry Sintonen)
- Uploader: sintonen@jyu.fi (Harry Sintonen)
- Version: 1.11
- Type: util/boot
- Requires: OS 1.0+, Blizzard turbo with MAPROM feature
- Replaces: util/boot/BlizKick.lha
-
- BlizKick is used to rekick any Kickstart ROM image with blizzard turbo
- boards having MAPROM feature (jumper). It has been tested with BLIZZARD
- 1230-I, 1230-III, 1230-IV, 1240-T/ERC, 1260, 2040-ERC and 2060 boards.
- Kickstart 1.2, 1.3, 2.04, 2.05, 3.0 and 3.1 are currently tested ROM
- images.
-
- If someone has a PowerUp board then *please* tell me if BlizKick works
- with it!
-
- BlizKick main features include:
-
- *NEW* in V1.11:
- - Added SCSIDEV43 module; kick V43 beta scsi.device. No more 4GB limit!
- NOTE: You need V43 beta scsi.device in DEVS:scsi43.device -file.
- - MAPROM jumper OFF detection fixed, it had been broken since v1.9...
- - Added Free100buf for freeing buffer created by ChipSaver module.
- - Tested with Kickstart 2.04 (37.175).
- - Four new modules: ChipSaver, RemCards, SpeedyIDE and WaitIDE.
- - EXTRESBUF is put into fast memory, instead of chip!
-
- - BBlank & NewAlert modules by Jens Lorenz.
- - BKMODPATH env-variable.
- - QUIET switch.
- - KICKFILE * can be used to kick original ROM found on chip.
- - LOCALFAST relocates memheaders to fast memory.
- - SoftSCSI module.
- - Support for BLIZZARD 1240-T/ERC, 2040-ERC and 2060!
- - Fixed bug from EXTRESBUF. Now it really should work with on all boards.
- - ROM address validity test to rule out some invalid ROM images.
- - XPK support for KICKFILE.
- - Support for hackdisk.device!
- - Can be run any time (no more need to start before SetPatch on 1260)
- - EXTRESBUF feature: Can use memory outside ROM image for "modules". No
- more "iffucient ROM space" -problem!
- - Can replace PrepareEmul tool 100%
- - Has possibility to plant ResidentTag modules into ROM image!
- (13 example modules included, plus assembler source code for all of
- them!)
- - Can restore the original Kickstart.
- - Has built-in FastWaitBlit patch.
- - Uses Blizzard board's own MAPROM feature (jumper).
- - No kickstart file preparation or similar is needed. You can just save any
- ROM image and give it to BlizKick!
- - Can make memory on Blizzard board LOCAL, bypass flashy boot of the board
- and speed up ROM boot.
- - Doesn't use MMU, KickMem, KickTag, ColdCapture or CoolCapture vectors.
- -> 100% transparent!
- - BlizKick is as OS compatible as possible: Doesn't use any additional
- memory (except those 512K and memory used by EXTRESBUF, if specified),
- coolcapture, coldcapture, kickmem or kicktag vectors.
- - Works with KS 1.0+ There's really no use for this, except for restoring
- original Kickstart after using Kickstart 1.x. Well, maybe some freaks
- like to boot KS 3.x from floppy... ;-)
- - Tested with BLIZZARD 1230-I @ 40MHz, BLIZZARD 1230-III @ 50MHz, BLIZZARD
- 1230-IV @ 50 MHz, BLIZZARD 1240-T/ERC @ 40 MHz, BLIZZARD 1260 @ 50MHz,
- BLIZZARD 2040-ERC @ 40 MHz and BLIZZARD 2060 @ 50 MHz turbo boards.
- - FreeWare! Copyright © 1996-1997 PitPlane Productions.
