Ultimate Amiga 600 Boot Disk
« on: October 08, 2007, 03:56:17 PM »
Hi  :-)

Well it is Monday afternoon, I am off work, and I am bored and want to do something with my Amiga. I've decided I'm going to try and make the ultimate boot disk, since I have no HD installed. As far as I am aware I have the following disks which may be of use:


 - Workbench 2.05

 - X-Copy Professional

 - D Copy v3.1

 - Klondike (if there's room! :-))

 - A disk labelled "Copycom/LHA/Vpic", (I know LHA is a
   useful utility which could be included)

I'm sure I had Extras 2.05 and others somewhere too but can't seem to find them!

So any pointers? Also, I have only really used OS 3.0, 3.1 and 3.9. Does 2.05 support background images?


Thanks for any help, just a little project to keep me and my 600 busy

Ran into my first problem!

Booted into Workbench after digging out my mouse, but the pointer moves very very slowly. I have tried taking the ball out and giving it a good clean but it doesn't solve the situation.

Any ideas? Or is it time to get a new mouse?

I would if I could get to it... my Workbench disk has an error. This isn't going too well so far!

Plus I really think its a hardware problem, because it isnt just moving very slow,  it's crawling and moving around a little on its own.

Thanks all, looks like I have some serious hunting to do, I'm sure I seen Extras and Fonts lying around a few days ago but they seem to have vanished!  :-o

What's really lame on the mouse side of things, is that my Amiga keys and alt key aren't working so I can't even use that to move the pointer  :-(  I need a new keyboard!

It looks like I'm going to have to hold off this project for a while until I get all the things I need, then I'll post here again and we can take it from there

Cheers!  :-D
