Short:    MapROM tool for Blizzard (1260 too!) turbos. V1.5.
Author:   e-mail not available (Harry Sintonen)
Uploader: jtynkkyn@planet.fi
Version:  1.5b
Type:     util/boot
Requires: OS 1.0+, Blizzard turbo with MAPROM feature

BlizKick is used to rekick any Kickstart ROM image with blizzard turbo
boards having MAPROM feature (jumper). It has been tested with Blizzard
1230-III and 1260 boards. Kickstart 1.2, 1.3, 2.05, 3.0 and 3.1 are
currently tested ROM images.

 BlizKick main features include:

*NEW*
- Has possibility to plant ResidentTag modules into ROM image!
- 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), 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 @ 50MHz and Blizzard 1260 @ 50MHz turbo boards.
