Commodore Amiga: Make Kickstart floppy from KickStart ROM file

What is it?

Just as it says on the tin, this program can take a 256KB Amiga Kickstart

ROM, and write it as a KickStart floppy, which can boot in Amiga 1000

systems.

It serves as an example of how to implement software that utilizes the

trackdisk.device.

Usage

1> MakeKick <kick.rom> <DFx:>

To write the KickStart ROM kickV27.3.rom to drive DF1: you would do:

1> MakeKick kickV27.3.rom DF1:

If incorrect parameters are given, a requester showing usage is displayed.

If any of the parameters are incorrect, a requester showing remediation is

displayed.

WARNING

The destination disk will be formatted, and the KickStart ROM will comprise

the first 23 tracks.
