Amiwest 2013 - Help on site
« on: October 01, 2013, 05:15:02 AM »
I have never been to Amiwest before and this one will be my first one. Can I bring my computer and have some help configuring my Amiga 1200 on site?

Actually...if you let us know ahead of time for the monthly SACC meeting or for AmiWest Classic Friday, we will try to have the items needed.

BUT, we discovered that often that our stuff works but the user cables and other items are toast. By bringing ALL your stuff, we may be better able to figure out why or what isn't working...

See  sacc.org

In my case what I want to do is to replace my 3.0 roms with 3.1 that I recently bought, install WB 3.1 with the original disks, and install an AlphaRam board that I can't get completely in inside the trapdoor.

My additional and final wish list is to install WB 3.9 with original CD but I don't have a CD drive.

Do I need to book time with someone? I can pay for labor.

All the help from SACC members is FREE. But if you need some hardware or software...You might have to buy those, but many times It's very cheap as SACC also runs a for sale table as a fundraiser.
The 3.1 rom install is easy, as is the 3.1 software install (justs takes time)
and while the 1200 is open, it's easier to install cards in the trapdoor slot.

AS to the 3.9 install...until you get a cd rom attached (several choices here, ide, scsi) about which we can advise,
you might have to wait on that?
Go to the sacc.org or the Amiwest site, email one of the guys and let us know you're coming.

Great suggestions. I sent an email to the felows at sacc.org.

Many thanks.
