> You might want to have a look at Christian Vogelgsang's https://github.com/cnvogelg/amitools collection. Good stuff. >AmigaOS 3.5/3.9 Never been a fan of these. I'm glad 3.1.4 took a different direction. >LoadModule Was not aware they could load workbench/icon.library, that is all :-) >This time, however, there is an official FAQ I read the one in the downloadable archive whole. It's still quite early and i'm sure there'll be much more info everywhere soon :)
In AmigaOS 3.1.4 released
> As long as it's fast ram, it's pretty good for a next best thing. I wasn't aware. The ROM changes which shipped with the AmigaOS 3.5/3.9 updates all exercised the same mechanism by which operating system modules loaded into RAM whose contents would survive a warm reset would supersede the contents of the ROM image. If I remember correctly, the same tool (LoadModule) had been used then. Documentation for these technical aspects has always been somewhat lacking I'm afraid... Not everyone wants to trawl the Amiga forums for hints on what is possible and how. This time, however, there is an official FAQ on the web site of the company which sells the product and further pointers to more information on Amiga forums which cover the AmigaOS 3.1.4 update. > That's great news. I'm not sure where I heard they weren't. I'm hopeful tools to do that
