Burning Eprom for A2000 with kickstart switch

[demonlg]

Hi, i have my A2000 with a kickstart switch 1.3-3.0, but this switcher has 2 separated Eprom low and high for 3.0 kickstart version and the socket for original 1.3 kickstart.

Now i need to upgrade with the 3.1 or 3.1.4 version but i don't know the procedure to burn the two new Eprom with a file of 3.1 version (probably i need to split this file in low and high, but i don't know what is the software or method for this operation).

The Eprom now installed are both AM27C020-150ns.

Please help me.

Thanks

I have compiled the file .cpp on mi macbook with the command and the file split are in teh folder, now if i launch this command only one abnormal file is writed and the name is xaa.

I have launched with this command on terminal:

split kickstartromfile.rom

But i don't know if the split tool need any arguments before file name.

it will write one file .lo and one file .hi

it will write one file .lo and one file .hi

Ah you are running split the system command.. not the command you just compiled.

Call it like ./split <filename>

No use the A500/600/2000 3.1 rom. It will boot but i think the A1200 rom expects AGA.
