`06.Nov.2024` Simon Neumann (ANF)	Alinea Computer: new versions of KickRom-Progger and KickRom-Flash Press release: We are pleased to present two of our popular products in version 2. KickROM Flash Rom V2 The KickROM Flash Rom V2 is a programmable Flash-Rom replacement for EPROM devices (e.g. 27c400) or Kickstart-Roms in the Amiga computer. Up to 4 Kickstarts (512 kb each) can be loaded onto one device and switched via jumpers or a switch. The special feature of version 2 is that the respective active block is also displayed via the LED display on the top. Version 1.x will continue to be sold until it is completely replaced by version 2. A KickRom flash can be purchased from 29.95 euros. A programming service is also available for customers without a programming device. Features Fits all Amigas (a separate version for the Amiga 600 is available) Holds up to 4 Kickstart roms on one chip Switchable via jumpers or an optional rotary switch New in V2: Active bank is indicated by an LED display on the top. To the product KickROM Flash Progger Programmer V2 The KickRom Progger v2 is a programming device for programming the KickROM flash devices. In addition, commercially available 27C400 modules can be read out. The programmer can be operated via the serial interface directly on your Amiga or via USB on more modern computers. From V2 the Progger has a new firmware with some new features and instead of a MicroUSB interface a USB-C socket for data transfer and power supply. The KickRom Progger V2 can be purchased without accessories for 49.95 euros. A zero-force socket and a serial cable for BigBox Amigas are available as options. As of V2, the Y-modem is also supported via its own firmware in addition to the X-modem protocol. The programmer has the following additional capabilities with the Y-modem protocol: File size of the file to be programmed is checked before the programming process Support for packet sizes of 1024 bytes. This enables faster transmission. All 4 blocks can be read out directly and are automatically divided into four files and named according to the block numbers (rom_x.bin). All 4 blocks can be written directly to the respective block by naming the block number in the file name (file_[1-4]) A byte swap is automatically performed for .rom based on the file extension To the product Upgrade service for customers of version 1 of the programmer For customers of V1 of the KickRom Flash Progger we offer an inexpensive upgrade service. Customers who want to upgrade the programmer to V2 simply contact us via e-mail. For an upgrade price of 10 Euro plus shipping costs we will replace the control chip and flash the new firmware.
