Trying to install Amix in WinUAE

[Failure]

Ian (from amiga-hardware.com) had a real nice writeup on how to install Amix in WinUAE on the wiki.  But there was a database hiccup lately, even though I managed to repair the database it ate/truncated the article  But the article on patching to 2.1c and the helper file for the patch disk are still out there!

I'd really like to get another WinUAE article up as pretty much anybody could play with it then, but I need to resolve some hosting issues first.  I'd hate for more info to be lost.

Google Cache still has that page, and it worked fine for me but 490M isn't enough disk space. It's best to use a 950M drive so the installer doesn't hang and you get plenty of space for compiling software, as well as a big swap partition.

Hot diggity.  It does indeed, and I've saved off a copy.  Thanks for that, I had checked archive.org only.

By the way Failure what's the file format of your 2.1 fixdisk? I tried mounting as sysV, ufs, and affs but no dice.

It's just a shell script actually, so it's installed the same way as the patch disk: sh /dev/dsk/fd0 *edit* Or rather, since you're on WinUAE just sh on the disk image file.

Also, slight bug, if your hostname isn't 'amix' the script fails complaining that it's not running on AMIX!

Hmm, with the patch disk itself??  I don't recall having that issue but it's been a while.  The hostname I used definitely wasn't "amix."

with the fixdisk you have to apply before applying the 2.1c patch disk.

Ah, I haven't actually had to use that yet.  But I will once I try it on WinUAE, it should be possible to extract the script and modify it to just use something out of the uname output.
