Hi again,
Does anyone know if there is CD writer software available for Workbench 1.3? I have an Amiga 2000HD with 1 meg of Chip RAM and 8 megs of Fast RAM. I have a 1 Gig SCSI Hard Drive attached to an A2091 Controller. It is set up as ID # 0 and is terminated. I also installed a Yamaha 4416 SCSI CD Read / Writer drive. It is set up as ID # 1 and is not terminated. My Motherboard is Revision 6.2 and has the 1 meg Agnes and the Super-Denise. I also install the Amber board (A2320). I removed the Kickstart 2.04 ROM and replaced it with a Kickstart 1.3 ROM for game compatibility. I have over 600 vintage Amiga games. All my games have had the copy protection removed so that they put less wear and tear on my Disk Drives and they can be very easily installed to a Hard Drive. I would like to record all 600 of these games to a CD-R. To do that I need the following software from Aminet: AmiCDFS and MessyDOS (latest versions). My Amiga 2000HD does not yet have access to the internet. So if someone would be willing to mail to me these 2 programs on an Amiga formatted 880k disk, I would mail to you a CD-R with all 600 of my games. The CD-R will be burned on my Pentium 4 computer and will be an ISSO 9660 CD. I have to first get all 600 games over to my PC (that's why I need these 2 programs). [color=FF0033]PLEASE HELP ME ![/color][/b]

Why don't you buy or build a kickswitcher?
If you make it yourself, just bend pins 11 out from both chips, stack them on top of each other, then wire a switch that selects either chip's pin 11 and connects it to pin 11 on the socket.
Then you can create a multiboot wb by taking the version of exec.library and if it isn't 37, you execute the 1.3 startup, else execute the 2.04 startup.. :-)
You'll need to have the system files inside a different directory and then reassign sys: and the rest inside that dir. :-)
You most likely won't find a 1.3 compatible burning tool.
Now that was a very messy post from me, but this space isn't enough to explain it in full detail.. You might want to do some research on the subject before you do anything. Aminet hard/hacks and www.google.com are your friends.

I just need someone to mail to me AmiCDFS and MessyDOS on an Amiga 880k disk, then I CAN burn these 600 classic Amiga video games to an ISSO 9660 CD-R. Who ever helps me with this will get a BIG REWARD ! :-D

I have to first get all 600 games over to my PC (that's why I need these 2 programs).
The easiest solution would be a serial cable and a terminal proggy on both sides. So you can transfer every program you need.
PS : the serial connection has to be made via NULLMODEM cable.
-
The problem is I do not have a terminal program for the "Amiga Side". I need AmiCDFS and MessyDOS !

@DoomMaster
I may be missing something here but how will AmiCDFS and MessyDOS help you transfer the games from the Amiga to the PC?
AmiCDFS is a read-only CD file system, it won't allow you to write discs.
To write CDs on the Amiga you need one of MasterISO, MakeCD or BurnIT. AFAIK all these programs need at least Amiga OS 2.x.
I suppose that once you have the ability to read CDs on the Amiga you will be able to download other Amiga programs on the PC and thransfer them via CD.
As someone else suggested I think the best option would be to transfer the games to the PC via serial transfer and then burn them there.

Here's one that might help you, if you still have the AmigaBasic disk:

Nice, easy and low-cost (all you need is just the serial cable)

Hi Robert (rhino),
MessyDOS will be used to transfer the amiga disks (folders with the files) to 720k PC disks. Once I copy all 600 game disks over to my PC, I will use my Pentium 4 computer's Mitsumi CD-RW drive to burn the game disks to an ISSO 9660 CD. The PC does a better job at CD burning then the Amiga (sorry Amiga fans). Then with the AmiCDFS installed on my Amiga 2000HD I can read that CD that I burned with my powerful Pentium 4 PC :-P
-
You may find a useful reading in a recently published article on how to burn CDs without a powerful Pentium 4 PC ;-)
http://www.swaug.org.uk/ltr-52327s.html
Transfering 600 disks one by one, needs a lot of patience... (20kb/sec). Maybe you should try to transfer them directly with the serial cable (saves you a lot of disk swapping on both parts).

Wouldn`t it be quicker and easier to buy a Catweasel card for the PC, so that Winblows can read the amiga disks?
-
I can't see why you just don't put the 2.04 ROM back in for a while :-?
-
Uhh...I don't know any software that would work on 1.3 that would even read a CD, never mind write one. Sorry. CD-R hadn't been invented when 1.3 was out.

You are WRONG! AmiCDFS works with Workbench 1.3.
From AmiCDFS guide (v.2.40).
AmigaOS2.0 and 2.1 or above.
Ciao
PS- your problem is a common problem for user that hasn't an Internet connection.
Even if you decide to link the PC to the Amiga through the serial port, how can you transfer the SerNet program on Amiga? . . .you need a friend with an Amiga connected to the net.
-edit- Sorry . . .WarTrans, as suggested by Cass, is perfect for your files transfer.

Thank you. I feel insulted, and don't feel like helping you from now on.
-
Use an OLDER version of AmiCDFS that works with Workbench 1.3
-
TO iamaboringperson,
Good, I only want people that know what they are talking about to help me. [color=FF0033]People, I just need somebody to mail me an Amiga 880k disk with AmiCDFS and MessyDOS. I do NOT need your advice! Will one of you help me by mailing me this disk?[/color][/b]
-
I'm sitting here, looking at my CrossDos4.1a for Workbench 1.3 floppy, then at the red, large, bold text. Then at my floppy, then at the text...
-
To jeffimix,
So, can you mail me a copy of it? I can and will reward you greatly! :-D
-
Okay I dug out my disk of CrossDos 4.02a (ok so I wasn't Actually looking at it, the amiga's in another room) and a manual. It's way too much bother putting anything on a DD floppy in this house (either WinXp or this PC doesn't support them) so mind if I send you a blank DD disk? not like it's hard to make one, amiga 2000s think everything is.
-
What you could do is buy one of the new USB controllers such as the Algor, for your A2000, and a USB Pen Drive.
You can get Pen drives from 64MB all the way up to 1GB or so, then you could just plug the pen drive into your Amiga, copy all the files onto the pen drive, and then put them in your PC for burning.
-
Yeah, but does Poseidon work on workbench 1.3?

Excuse me??
'DoomMaster', you have obviously come along asking for help, and I have taken my time to at least try and help you, I do this good, and only manage to get atacked in return? If you give #### to everybody who tries to help I could only imagine that people will eventually stop helping you. I would like to know what I have done to get such an insulting attack from you, after giving you my oppinion as advice - free advice.
I'm sorry that you aren't asking for advice, that is often what people come here for, and that is usually what the kind people deliver.
Rather than ask people for these programs to be sent to you, I can't see why you can't just go to aminet or somewhere and download the software you need. It would save you the insulting.
The arrogance!

@DoomMaster
First off welcome to Amiga.org.
Second your posts have come off as a little abrassive, kindly I must ask you to watch the tone.
Finally when you say you offer a big reward, be careful as this sounds like you are offering pirate software. Discussion of piracy and trading of warez is not permitted at all on Amiga.org. This rule is strictly enforced.
Please abide by our Posting Guidelines (http://amiga.org/modules/sections/index.php?op=viewarticle&artid=6) and enjoy your stay.
