Trouble installing Wings
« on: August 19, 2012, 08:05:45 PM »
I can not seem to get Wings to install on my "new" A2000. The machine is a 6.x motherboard, 3.1 OS with 12Mb of fast RAM and 1Mb of chip.
I have the original disks (real cinemaware) but no manual. Using the hard drive option on Reel Two just doesn't work. It will say ram:T already exists, and if I delete it it says it doesn't exist. So - damned if you do and damned if you don't. What is the trick?
A2000 GVP 40MHz \'030, 21Mb RAM SD/FF, 2 floppies, internal CD-ROM drive, micromys v3 w/laser mouse
A1000 Microbotics Starboard II w/2Mb 1080, & external floppy (AIRdrive)
C-128 w/1571, 1750, & Final Cartridge III+

"Hard disk installation: you can install Wings to you HD. On reel 1 is a
file named READ_ME.INSTALL that explains the procedure."

I think the installation was as straightforward as to just copy both disks contents to HD then assign "REEL 1" & "REEL 2" to that directory. But it's been some time....

I can't believe I didn't bother to look on Reel one. Have it working on the hard drive now. Many thanks.
It is really amazing what can be forgotten over the years. A real, heartfelt, thank you.
