Getting my A1200 up & running... help!
« on: June 26, 2004, 12:48:26 PM »
Hi all!

This is my first post (...hello!!!). I'm a returning 'miga addict, getting sick of my PCs! And trying to ressurect my A1200 with a new OS.

I bought a copy of OS3.5 and the ROM chips a while ago. The chips are in, but when I try to install the OS I get a million error messages :( I think this is probably to do with having had to install OS3.0 (from a very old set of disks that have been written to and the setup modified), update off the CD to 3.1, and only then being able to install 3.5! Is this really necessary, do I really need to go through all this? Would I be best getting hold of a new set of WB3.1 disks and a Hard Drive installer disk?!? ...if so where could i buy such things? Anyone got any idea of prices on these?

Would I be best getting hold of OS3.9? And would I still need to go through this long-winded process of updating from each previous OS version!??!

Please HelpMe!
I love it, I love it!!! :-D

Current Spec: Towered A1200, Apollo 040 40, 32MB, 2xIDE HDs, IDE CD-ROM, LS120, OS3.5 ...looking to upgrade.

Thanks.

I think i'll just get 3.9 then, sounds a lot easier than trying to bodge 3.0, 3.1, and then 3,5 on!

Is there a big difference between 3.5 and 3.9 anyone?

Cheers.
