#kickstart

"AmigaBlueKick" is a Kickstart switch that does not require any soldering work on the motherboard or a mechanical switch: Switching between the different Kickstart ROMs is done via Bluetooth. To do this, a ready-made ESP32S3 or ESP32C3 Wifi/Bluetooth module is connected to four pins of a Kickstart EPROM (5V, ground, A18, A19):

SMD electrolytic caps replaced on the #A1200, board cleaned, bathed and dried and seems to still get up to the #kickstart.
This one was recovered in a "junk box" at a fair, it was together with other bits and pieces of dismantled laptops, so in the future I'll have to check it for other problems, as it might have ended up there for a reason.
For now, I'm content that caps won't eat the board away while I work on something else.

This is my evening tonight. I am kickstarting (automated Linux install) 13 laptops. The system owner wants to ship them to the training site tomorrow so I said I'd try to get all 13 kickstarted tonight. It took a bit of work, but I have all 13 in progress. Now I just have to wait a really long time as these systems are older and slower. Time to find some other work to do.

These are old and slow so now I wait, and wait, for them to finish.

Turbo Tomato runs on OCS/ECS Amigas and needs only 1Mb RAM. But note that it requires Kickstart 2.0! As I have an A500 with more than 1Mb, I could softkick it. I used mkick from Aminet. It's not that straightforward, but can be done. What's important is to have the right #kickstart rom that's A500/A600 compatible and to have the arp.library from the ARP_13 archive installed: aminet.net/package/misc/antiq/ I used kickstart 3.1 version 40.063 with the md5 sum e40a5dfb3d017ba8779faba30cbd1c8e #amiga
