I'm looking for a 2.04 kickstart rom chip for an amiga 3000. unfortunately nobody seems to have them in stock since commodore has not bothered to send them any. if you have one available, send me your price via email. i will also pay for shipping. bob 73710,1366 1:226/600.3@fidonet

Bob, Do you have a specific reason for wanting one? Your 3000 will run faster with the OS in ram, you can upgrade the OS much more easily (ie., my 3000 is running 3.1). Unless you have a specific need for the rom, you'd be much better off without it. -sja

thanks for the info. i did not know that it would run faster when in ram. i have had some problems trying to get kick1.3 programs to work, and i thought having a physical 2.04 rom chip might help (plus clear up any gremlins in my system). so i guess i'll just stick with my current setup (can't find the rom anyway :D), and wait for 3.1 to arrive for the masses. bob

So how do I get WB 3.1 for my A3000? Chris

Become a developer and purchase it from CATS

Hello Steve, How does a company get to be a developer??? I heard CBM wasn't taking applications or is this a yarn? My company could do with some inside information but everytime I approach CBM they refer me to their Tech Manuals and SMG just wants your credit card number before they say hello.:)

Call 215-431-9100 and ask for CATS … they'll send you the paperwork. If you aren't a registered developer they won't give you any info that is not contained within the publically available manuals.

You can write to CATS, Developer Program, 1200 Wilson Drive, West Chester, PA 19380 and ask for an application. The phone number is (215) 431-9100.

I will try to get in touch with CATS 🙂

How about kickstart 2.04 for anything? Normally I dump the kernel into SRAM on my mega-midget racer anyway, so if there was some way for me to get a hold of it on disk and load it that way… Any ideas? Thanks
