CD-Rom drive on Workbench 1.3 ????
« on: October 31, 2003, 02:28:38 AM »
Is it possible to use a CD-Rom drive on an Amiga 2000 running Workbench 1.3?  If so, What must I do, step by step.  What version of AmiCDFS do I use?     :roll:

Why do you want to use a CD on your Amiga2000? I find CDs are much better on their native platform...


The CD-Rom drive in my Amiga 2500 works really well.  It has Kickstart / Workbench 2.04.  One of my Amiga 2000 computers has Workbench 1.3 on it.  That is the Amiga that I want to use the CD-Rom drive on.  I am beginning to actually like Workbench 1.3 better then 2.04, because all of my vintage games run on OS 1.3.  I also think that Workbench 1.3 looks nicer then 2.04.  Anyway, do any of you have a CD-Rom drive working on your Workbench 1.3 system?  Just because something is older does NOT mean that it is no longer any good.  For instance, most of the really good Amiga games will only run on Workbench 1.3.  I can not get them to work on Workbench 2.04.     :roll:

As far as I know, there's no CD-based software for WB1.3 anyway. I'm not seeing the point of this experiment.


I now have all of my over 1000 vintage Amiga games burned to a CD-R disc.  But, most of these games will only work on Workbench 1.3, so I need a CD-Rom drive on that system so I can read the CD-R disc on that computer.  My Amiga 2500 reads the CD just fine, but most of the games will not run on the 2.04 OS.     :roll:

If you got off your fat ass and just swallow your pride and just get and Amiga 1200, 3000 or 4000 then you will get none of this problems.


First of all, I am not fat.  I am a slender, good-looking man that should be a model.  I am half English and half German and ALL European.  As far as pride is concerned, if you were me, The DoomMaster, you would have a lot to be proud of, but you are not, so you just talk crap.

Second, I would never buy an Amiga 1200 computer for myself.  I am smart enough to know that the Amiga 1200 is a piece of low-quality, poorly designed piece of crap.  And the Amiga 3000 and 4000 will not run the vintage games.

Third, I never have any problems with my Amiga 2000 Series computers.  They are very well made and have stood the test of time !     :-D
