Kickstart ROM v2.05
There are no visual differences between Kickstart 2.04 and 2.05. With the first revision (37.299) it wasn't possible to boot from the PCMCIA device or the internal ATA controller. Instead, drivers for these had to be loaded from floppy disk. The later revisions (37.300 and 37.350), which were used mainly in A600HD, had these drives built into the ROM, and as such made it possible to boot directly from PCMCIA and ATA.
Revision 37.300 had bugs which prevented it from using hard disks larger than 40 Mb. These bugs were fixed in revision 37.350, which supported hard disks up to 4 Gb.
Later on Amiga 600 owners had the possibility to upgrade to Workbench 2.1. This was a software (floppy disk) update only and no Kickstart 2.1 ROM ever existed.
Revision 37.299 (Commodore, 1991) is used by:
- A600
Revision 37.300 and 37.350 (Commodore, 1991) is used by:
- A600HD
