How to... 

 

This is a quick guide on how to use the Amiga 1000 Kickstart Adapter in your 
Amiga. There are different mainboards available so please check with your 

revision and follow the instructions for your board. 
 

 
 

Amiga 1000 without Piggyboard 

 
First you have to solder a 28-pin socket to position U5R on the mainboard.  

 
Next you have to cut the conductor path between PAL DAUGCAS position U6N Pin 
17 and 74LS373 position U3J Pin 1. Alternative you can cut Pin 17 of PAL 

DAUGCAS so it has no contact to the board. Now you have to solder one wire 
from 74LS373 position U3J Pin 1 to the Kickstart Adapter position 1. These steps 

are necessary to deactivate the 256kb WOM area. 
 
Next step is to change the jumpers on position W2 and W4 like it is showed on  

the picture below:

Finally you have to solder two wires, one wire from PAL DAUGCAS position U6N 

Pin 2 to the Kickstart Adapter position 4, the second wire from PAL DAUGCAS 
position U6N Pin 9 to the Kickstart Adapter position 3. 

Now you are ready to fit the Kickstart Adapter into position U5S and U5R on the 
mainboard. Before installing a Kickstart ROM and switching on the Amiga please 
double check all steps.
