booting AlphaGen as Amiga 1200
« on: September 04, 2010, 10:06:06 AM »
Hi there. This is an easy one for you geniuses out there...  ;)

I've got an AlphaGen, the rackmountbox with a 1200 motherboard inside.

http://www.amigahistory.co.uk/bundles/magicbox.html

It boots from floppy to the characer generator program, and pulls imagery off of the built in CD rom drive. I'm trying to boot it into a standard amiga mode. odd thing is that it has a hard drive in there, but it behaves as if there weren't workbench installed on it.

I did boot it while holding the mouse buttons, and booted without WB startup, but I didn't get very far.  When I listed what was in WB startup, there was nothing associated with the Alphagen. So this is kind of weird. it's also a very long time since I've tried this sort of monkeying around with an Amiga, so there are likely a million things I've forgotten.

Perhaps I should just dig out a Workbench floppy and see if it'll boot from that?

Thanks for any help!
