If anyone has access to an eprom burner, eproms can be made from the kickstart
disk.  There is a program floating around that reads the write control store
and makes a file that you can send to an eprom programmer.  You need access to
an amiga 1000 to use this program but I'm sure you could probably also read
it from the kickstart disk itself.  The 64k eproms are about $10 dollars and
you need four of them so this may or may not be more expensive than the roms
from commadore.  However, you can use the same eproms when kickstart 1.4
is released.

Although this sounds like pirating, my justification is that since I believe 
the kickstart disks are freely distributable, or at least I am allowed to make
as many copies for my own personal use as I want, copying it to eprom is
really no different than copying it to another disk.
