After about a month of installing my 500gb drive on my PC, I've just started getting things back to the way I really like them. Recently, I reinstalled my AmigaForever 6.0 CD and did an online update of WinUAE, so I'm running version 1.4.4.
What I'd like to do now, is rebuild my "Amiga" using WinUAE. (I have a real one, but at the moment that one needs to wait.) I'd like to use AmiKit, but it appears that my AF6.0 CD is not compatible with it. I did check their forums for some workarounds, but that didn't work.
Basically, what I'd like to end up with is an emulated Amiga4000 desktop or tower with RTG and either an 040 or 060 chip. I want to jazz this thing up as far as I can get it. Nice graphics, icons, the works.
Now I thought maybe I could start with the Default 3.X config and then customize it from there. Maybe it would be better just to start off with a fresh install? So here are some questions I'm pondering...
1) Should I build everything up with AmiKit first? Problem is that I only have AF6.0 and not the recent version. Real AmigaOS, I have OS3.0 on floppy. No Catweasel.
2) Money is limited (which is why I"m not working with the real Amiga yet), so is there a way to build this with what I currently have, or should I get the latest AmigaForever or perhaps OS3.9 on CD (if I can find it)? I'm thinking that OS3.9 would be the better solution, because I can use it on a real Amiga also.

I am using Amikit 1.4.0 now on my laptop its amazing to say the least.
I have got my setting as 68040 8meg chipram and 128meg fastram.
Amikit as in Dopus not the standard Amiga 1200.
You can of course get the standard setup by pressing the left shift key on bootup.
Mike.
Ohhh yes this version of Amikit 1.4.0 can now access USB and ZIP drives.
And of course any CD and DVD you have on your PC.

I ran into the same problems: Trying to test out Amikit with Amiga Forever 6.0. It didn't work. After fooling around with it for a while, I gave up.
I downloaded WinUAE 1.4.4 and used the ROMS that are on the Amiga Forever 6.0 CD. (I don't want to install Amiga Forever just yet.)
Then I installed os 3.1. I'm currently playing with that. Works great.
As for Amikit and Amiga Forever 6.0 CD, I have no idea why it doesn't work and got really tired of reading Amikit forums about it.

AmiKit works with AmigaForever 6.0. Simply use these installation scripts (http://amikit.amiga.sk/forum/index.php?action=vthread&forum=3&topic=30#msg1185) according to the instructions.
