FlashROM Kickstart Switchers for sale

I have parts to make about 3 extra of these beyond what I need. If anyone is interested, shoot me a PM.

Price: $30 each + Shipping. Would prefer to sell these to Amigans in the USA, since international shipping would likely cost more than the actual item (except maybe to Canada).

Capabilities: Can program any TWO Kickstart images you want onto it. If you want 3.1.4, you'll have to provide proof to me that you bought it from Hyperion (send me a screenshot of your digital download's receipt). You switch between them (WITH THE COMPUTER POWERED OFF, OF COURSE) by moving a jumper. You can also wire a DPDT switch onto the jumper posts and attach the switch to the external of your case.

You will need to tell me what Amiga you are using them on, INCLUDING the revision of the motherboard if you are using it on an A500, because I have to change the solder pad jumper configuration if you have a Rev 5 or earlier board.

@obitus1990, am I right in assuming it would work in the following:
1000, 500, 2000

Or, are there others, too?

@intric8, It works on all the Amigas I own... the 500, 600, 1000 (that is first equipped with one of EnzineG's relocators), 2000, 3000, 1200, 4000D and 4000T. I don't own a 3000T, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. You just need the proper ROM images programmed onto them (1200 KS for 1200 machines, etc.).

For the 32 bit machines (3000,4000,1200), of course, you need two of them ... one for the HI ROM and one for the LO ROM.

These would be great for me to use instead of making freaking EPROMS. I am sick and tired of the fakes or counterfeit ones I keep getting. Send me a message in signal and lets chat my friend!

Are these still available? Is it possible to update the flash should newer roms become available afterwards?

I might have supplies left to make one or two...I'd have to check. They can be updated, if you have a programmer. It's not something you can update from CLI while it's installed in the Amiga.

Cool. Its for my A1000 so definitely 1.3. I do have 3.1.4 for my A1200 but I'm not entirely sure if I could even use 3.1.4 on the A1000??

This won't work on a 1000 that hasn't had a Kickstart Relocator board installed in it first. Without that, there's no socket to plug it into.

Ugh. I do have a Spirit Board and it might be too tight with a relocator board in addition to this. What other options would I have?
