- another jumper lets using peripherals connected to the passthrough connector in case both slots are empty
- optional internal power supply with power connector for a hard disk drive
- does not supply -12V to the Zorro slots
- no power switch
- variations
- Expansion Technologies has sold it under the name ToolBox, but only Phoenix has manufacured it

- EPROM burner
- meant for burning Kickstart EPROMs from 256 KB (Kickstart v1.x) to 512 KB (Kickstart v2.x/v3.x)
- supports 27C2001 (2 MBit) and 27C4001 (4 MBit) EPROMs
- already prepared for 8 MBit EPROMs - using them require a change of GAL and FPGA (IC1 and IC2)
- Kickstart files may not be split
- only burning possible, no erasing
- Notes
- the ProKick / ProKick XL can also be installed in an A2000, with limited use though
- Zorro cards are mounted vertically
- the Kickstart installed on the ProKick is mapped to the memory range $F80000-$FFFFFF, thus the original Kickstart ROM, or the Kickstart WOM and Bootloader ROM in case of A1000, is not accessible
- 512 kB or 1 MB of EPROM space can be installed in total
- expansion doesn't work with only one EPROM equipped, so always both sockets have to be occupied
- part of the EPROM can be used for own software, e.g. Autoboot driver, if the Kickstart doesn't occupy all of the EPROM space
- optional angled adapter:
- available as an accessory for the ProKick (not suitable for the ProKick XL)
- plugs into the Zorro slot
