Hi!

I'm looking for information on the kickstart loader routine of an A1000. Are there any checksums done on the data read from the two first sectors of the kickstart diskette?
I know of the checksum on the kickstart diskette. A disassembly and/or information on the kickstart loader are very much appreceated. Where are the code located in memory, when/how, if at all,  is it removed from the address space?

I'm at a VERY EARLY stage of trying to implement my own OS for the A1000. Any information towards that goal are very much appreceated.

btw: I'm not interested in joining some already existing OS project. I want to do this from scratch by my own, but I obviously need some help collecting the information needed for such a project.
