Hey, anyone still got (or even remember) "My Very First" tutorial!?  :-P

Anyways, first thing to try (I guess you havent switched it on yet?) is to make sure there are no floppies in the drive and turn her on!  If shes alive and well, you should get a picture of a hand holding a disk (this will also tell you which version of kickstart you have).

Next thing is to make sure your floppy is write protected and just put it in the drive.  The Amigas poll the drive every couple of seconds (you should be able to hear it).  Once it detects you have put a disk in, it will try to boot from it right away.  There is no need to have the disk in before you turn it on.

Final job is to post on here and let us know how you got on and most importantly, whats on your mysterious disk!

Have fun... oh... and WELCOME TO AMIGA!!!
