Kickstart ROMs


If you have an Amiga, you can download the ROMs from it yourself. Here are the directions, taken from the Ubiquitous Amiga Emulator Read Me files. (Please don't ask me about this procedure; ask the author for clarifications.)

6. Tools / Transferring files

In the "amiga" subdirectory you'll find two small tools that you can use to
transfer software from the Amiga to the PC. These are called transrom and
transdisk. transrom will dump the contents of your Kickstart ROM, and
transdisk will dump an image of the floppy in drive DF0:. Both programs write
to the standard output, so you want to redirect that. Do

   transrom >ram:kick.rom
   
to create a file called "kick.rom" in the RAM disk, and

   transdisk >ram:df0.adf
   
to create a file called "df0.adf" in the RAM disk. These files are pretty
big, 524288 bytes for the ROM image and 901120 bytes for a disk image. If you
are short on RAM (less than 1.5MB) you may want to transfer those files 
directly to a serial link between the Amiga and your system (works
without a problem for me).


The current copyright holders of the Amiga ROMs have publicly stated that the ROMs should not be distributed.

In keeping with this policy, I have removed the ROMs from my page. Sorry.

Do not ask me for the Kickstart ROMs.
