Best WB for Amiga 1000
« on: May 23, 2017, 07:09:28 PM »
I have a 1000 setup with the ACA 500 plus.
What Workbench setup would be good for this. I like the 1.3 look but also want whdload as I do not want to use floppies.

Not doing a whole lot here, but turn it on for the more retro look as I have a 1084 monitor on it also. My other Amiga is a vampired 500 setup.

Jens won't support it but I and many others find it usable.
Usually doesn't work on power up but on subsequent power up works fine. On soft reboots it seems fine also.
Just so you know, those are the limitations.

If you have the ACA500+, just use the built-in KS 3.1, and use the built-in WB 3.1 disk images to install a virgin WB 3.1 on a CF card. Easy, cheesy, lemon squeezy. I do this on  my 1000 and it works great with WHDLoad.


I tried when first installed. Kept getting disk install errors.

Thanks for the replies. Got the firmware update and installed wb 3.1 in main cf
Problem now, even after enabling the auxiliary cf slot, I get no access to it. Shows as Ndos icon on desktop.
Is this because the card is a boot cf from another amiga?

Ok, edit here. Put another cf card in and files show up.
