If so, do you still have the original Workbench 1.0 disk?

Hi,

I still have an A1000 and play Arctic Fox on it at least monthly, it is the only computer that will play Arctic Fox, when Amiga went to OS 1.1 Arctic Fox wouldn't run anymore. So to answer your question yes I have 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 , 1.3 3.0, 3.1, 3.5, and 3.9 OS systems. I also have what they call KickBench 1.2, which is a Kickstart Disk and workbench all on the same disk.

have a nice day

I have a Kickstart 1.0 for my A1000 but no workbench 1.0 (WB1.3 causes it to crash).

Can you send my a WB1.0 disk image?

Arctic Fox?

False advertising!  There are no foxes to be found!

Good game, though.  :-)

My A1000 died for the second time.  No revival this time.  It will be the home of my first MicroA1 w/OS 4 to continue the legacy.   :-D

However, if it were still alive it would see regular if not daily use.   :-)

Depends on what you mean by "use".

I recently got me phoenixboard and now am playing around with the Miggy again - if only to set it up correctly and play a few games once in a week.  If that counts and the Phoenixboard counts as some A 1000 clone, then yes, I still use it regulary. Might be different when/if the setup is complete, I am still after some expansions on eBay (like a Viper 530/50 :)) .

I wonder what will happen if it finally becomes complete. Maybe my interest dies, maybe I will use it even more regularily.


Have fun,
McTrinsic

Hi,

Sure will try, I will have to pull out one of my old Amiga's and make a copy of it, I tore down my computer room last month to put in some upgrades and haven't set up any Amiga's as of yet, to busy going to college to learn how to properly use Winblows 2000.

If not, let me know.
