One Serious Question...

I have one question for the firebird. If a person gets firebird and does not want any kickstart flashed into the core...want the kickstart from the motherboard itself, can that happen? I have a kickstart 3.2.1 and a kicktart 1.3 using a kickstart switcher all physical hardware and I want to use them from the hardware (like it this way) than having them flashed into the core. Can I do it this way? Would I be able to use Ethernet build into the board with my kickstart 3.2.1 in the motherboard?

To the best of my knowledge you can't boot from your MB kickstart. It's not hard to set up different partitions or drives to use whatever kickstart is required. Especially with Apollo Boot.

You'd get a faster response in the official Discord support channels then here.

Physical ROMs accesses are dog slow (and you can feel it on Workbench), why would like to do that when you can put them in FastRAM with a single command and switch from one to the other in a breaze ?

I have purchased kickstart 3.2.1...physical ROM. I need to be able to use that ROM on my accelerator and I have also purchased real kickstart switcher and kickstart 1.3. I want to be able to switch to 1.3 when I wanted too.

I have kickstart 3.2.1 as ROM from my licensed AmigaCD 3.2.1, can I use those licensed ROM in my vampire? How? Do I give this license to you guys and you flash them in the core or how it works?

You can flash any .rom with our ApolloFlash tool available from the SAGA Driver Pack.

Since you bought AmigaOS 3.2 you can download the roms as files at Hyperion website and use them as you wish.
