   kickstart loading   
   20 Mar 04 15:29:24   
   
   Hi!   
      
   I'm looking for information on the kickstart loader routine of an A1000. Are   
   there any checksums done on the data read from the two first sectors of the   
   kickstart diskette?   
   I know of the checksum on the kickstart diskette. A disassembly and/or   
   information on the kickstart loader are very much appreceated. Where are the   
   code located in memory, when/how, if at all,  is it removed from the address   
   space?   
      
   I'm at a VERY EARLY stage of trying to implement my own OS for the A1000. Any   
   information towards that goal are very much appreceated.   
      
   btw: I'm not interested in joining some already existing OS project. I want to   
   do this from scratch by my own, but I obviously need some help collecting the   
   information needed for such a project.
