Default AfA OS in ROM?
Is it possible to insert AfA OS either in to a ROM image to be softkicked, or preferably in to a KickFlash as a ROM update?

AfA is incomplete at this time. It is only a few modules. Once completed, there's no reason why it couldn't. But for now, you still need the original amiga ROM.

I think I was unclear. I'm not talking about replacing the Kickstart ROM. I'm talking about pre-patching the ROM with the AfA modules so they are available from cold boot without having to have the modules on hard disk and patch them on every boot. Would that be possible?

Oh sure, that would work.

Are the AfA_OS modules 'rom-able', and more importantly, will they fit within the 512k address space?

I guess it would be reasonably easy to test creating a custom kickstart using UAE.

Cheers,

I suppose that's a more succinct way of asking my original question.

Probably not, but I don't care - I'm using a KickFlash.

Well I'll try inserting the individual AfA-OS modules in to my KickFlash to test it.
