CDTV Extended-ROM v2.30      On A570 cd-rom expansion
CDTV Extended-ROM v2.7       for CDTV II?


If you rekick older kickstart than originally used one, it may be impossible to use all hardware and/or peripherals of your system (e.g. If you originally use KS 3.0 in your A1200 and rekick KS 1.3 you can't use your hard disk drives or PCMCIA slot. Direct banging of AGA hardware works, if someone is smart (?) enough to do it).

A3000 usually had (at least) two versions of kickstart per release. One for use on new motherboards (or older ones with a ROM Tower) and one for older motherboards without a ROM Tower.

I thought the 40.69 was a hack, just a 40.68 with some blizkick patches applied?

You also missed out a few..
 40.68 A500/2000/600 (beta?)
 40.68 A3000
 40.68 A4000T
 40.70 A3000
 40.70 A4000
On schedule, and suing

Thanks Doobrey!

And thank you very much for remus and romsplit, they are way too cool, i hope you can update them more oftenly (more romsplit roms supported + a remus module much like 1.4b3 bootmenu to choose 1.x 2.x and hoping 3.x).

I've actually got a ROM that's labeled 37.229 (yes, 229). I'm thinking it's just a misprint of 299, but I haven't got time to check it in a machine.
