The actual ROM of the machine was a 1.4 ROM, and 2.0 (NOT 2.04) was simply 'softkicked'. Revision 37.175 (Commodore, 1991) is used by:Įarlier revisions of the A3000 used special 'Super Kickstart Disks', essentially the same idea as with the Kickstart Disks of the A1000, but the images were bigger (512K) and could be stored on harddisk. Third-party companies also produced Kickstart ROM switching boards which allowed A500+ to boot from KS1.2 or KS1.3. These problems were often solved by using a program named ReloKick, which loaded the Kickstart 1.3 ROM image into memory and allowed Amiga 500+ to boot from Kickstart 1.3. Unfortunately some older (but popular) games were incompatible with Kickstart 2.04.

A boot menu was added, which allowed selection of boot device & disabling/enabling devices and the startup-sequence. The ROM size increased from 256Kb to 512Kb. Kickstart 2.04 had a greatly improved GUI with 3D look through-out and standard GadTools in ROM. Help Kickstart ROMs Kickstart ROM 2.04 Kickstart ROM v2.04
