A friend of mine has the following question:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi, folks.
I have been feeding my Amiga 1000 with its beloved Kickstart Disk for ages
now.
Does any one know how to add Kickstart-ROMS to the expansion port of the
A1000 ? Is it as easy as just putting the ROMS on a proper board with address
and data bus buffers and giving them a chip-select signal at $FC0000 ?
Or do I have to patch the contents of Kickstart somewhere ?

Thanks, Uwe.

Another question:

       Has anyone ported the pd-tar program to the amiga? It is used on
       the Atari ST and on several UN*X-Machines. It archives whole
       directory trees in one file. Then this file can be compressed with
       compress. Then the compression rate is much higher than using arc or
       zoo.


Thanks, Ortwin
