Hi Guys,
I am taking pre-orders for 16bit and 32bit Dual-Rom (2 in 1) OR Quad-Rom (4 in 1) kickstart boards.
What is it?
This dual or quad rom board allows you to swap roms without the need for case modding or jumper swapping, simply hold your CTRL-A-A keys on your amiga keyboard for long than 2 seconds and your amiga will reboot into another kickstart!
VIDEO: CTRL-A-A Reset Toggles the kickstart (Manually shorting kb Reset to gnd here but same thing)
-> https://streamable.com/pblrr
KEY Features- Simply hold RESET (CTRL-A-A) for a small period of time to switch kick roms. A quick reset will not switch roms.
- No more case modding switches, no more jumper swapping!
- Remembers last ROM selected even after power down.
Important please read me (LEGAL NOTICE)
It goes without saying you are required to provide legal and valid rom images via e-mail before purchase. Unfortunately this romboard cannot be reprogrammed without desoldering the rom chip(s) from the pcb.
This item is intended for convenient switching of legally owned roms on your Amiga(s)!
Price Menu
- Quad-Rom (4 in 1) as 16bit or 32bit @ £32.99 excludes P&P*
- Dual-Rom (2 in 1) as 16bit or 32bit @ £23.99 excludes P&P*
* P&P (UK 7~ GBP, other areas TBD at point of sale)

58mm*36mm dimension
16bit rom (single chip configuration) romboard
58mm*18mm dimension
Supported Systems
16bit:
- A500 /A500+
- A1500
- A600 /A600HD
- A2000
32bit:
- A1200 /A1200HD
- A4000 /A4000T * dropping support for this right now, all orders will be honoured thus far. PM me for more info if required.
- Other (PM)
Obviously your legally obtained ROM must be specific to the hardware in the above list, it is not possible to use an A1200 ROM in an A4000 or vise versa without adverse issues or failure to boot. It is possible to use A500/A600/A2000 interchangably but it is not recommended to pull the rom board in/out between Amiga, make several purchases.
How to order
All interested parties must declare their interest and are required to PM me, all paid orders are on a first come first serve basis. Production HAS began and I’m getting through the list. To avoid delay order today .

A firm and proper warning:
Ensure proper insulation on top of the rom board / metal plate of keyboard , as keyboard back plate may short on your rom board pins. Other custom options such as a mediator etc may have to be insulated also. INSERTION or REMOVAL of kickstart romboards at your own risk. IF you are not sure, ask the forum or this thread!!! don't insert the rom board incorrectly. make sure you read before inserting anything into your amiga... the wrong position or orientation can cause black smoke! TO remove romboard safely, put the back of tweezer handle and turn clock-wise or counter-clock-wise in the gap under PCB to push the pcb up out of the socket a tiny bit , moving between each corner or side slowly. Pulling tools/screw driver or hands is not recommended . I am not responsible for damage caused by you or hardware installation in your Amiga and you agree to not hold me liable for said damages. All 3rd party hardware to Be used in your vintage machine should be used at your own risk
