Uploader: sintonen@jyu.fi (Harry Sintonen)
Type:     util/boot
Requires: OS 1.0+, Blizzard turbo with MAPROM feature
Version:  1.10
Replaces: util/boot/BlizKick.lha

BlizKick is used to rekick any Kickstart ROM image with blizzard turbo
boards having MAPROM feature (jumper). It has been tested with BLIZZARD
1230-I, 1230-III, 1230-IV, 1240-T/ERC, 1260, 2040-ERC and 2060 boards.
Kickstart 1.2, 1.3, 2.05, 3.0 and 3.1 are currently tested ROM images.

If someone has a PowerUp board then *please* tell me if BlizKick works
with it!

 BlizKick main features include:

*NEW* in V1.10:
- Added BBlank & NewAlert modules by Jens Lorenz.
- BKMODPATH env-variable.
- QUIET switch.
- KICKFILE * can be used to kick original ROM found on chip.

- LOCALFAST relocates memheaders to fast memory.
- SoftSCSI module.
- Support for BLIZZARD 1240-T/ERC, 2040-ERC and 2060!
- Fixed bug from EXTRESBUF. Now it really should work with on all boards.
- ROM address validity test to rule out some invalid ROM images.
- XPK support for KICKFILE.
- Support for hackdisk.device!
- Can be run any time (no more need to start before SetPatch on 1260)
- EXTRESBUF feature: Can use memory outside ROM image for "modules". No
  more "iffucient ROM space" -problem!
- Can replace PrepareEmul tool 100%
- Has possibility to plant ResidentTag modules into ROM image!
  (11 example modules included, plus assembler source code for all of
  them!)
- Can restore the original Kickstart.
- Has built-in FastWaitBlit patch.
- Uses Blizzard board's own MAPROM feature (jumper).
- No kickstart file preparation or similar is needed. You can just save any
  ROM image and give it to BlizKick!
- Can make memory on Blizzard board LOCAL, bypass flashy boot of the board
  and speed up ROM boot.
- Doesn't use MMU, KickMem, KickTag, ColdCapture or CoolCapture vectors.
  -> 100% transparent!
- BlizKick is as OS compatible as possible: Doesn't use any additional
  memory (except those 512K and memory used by EXTRESBUF, if specified),
  coolcapture, coldcapture, kickmem or kicktag vectors.
- Works with KS 1.0+ There's really no use for this, except for restoring
  original Kickstart after using Kickstart 1.x. Well, maybe some freaks
  like to boot KS 3.x from disk... ;-)
- Tested with BLIZZARD 1230-I @ 40MHz, BLIZZARD 1230-III @ 50MHz, BLIZZARD
  1230-IV @ 50 MHz, BLIZZARD 1240-T/ERC @ 40 MHz, BLIZZARD 1260 @ 50MHz,
