Hi,

Welcome to A.Org!

It might help if you can give more detail than "just can't get the thing to work" !

What have you tried so far? WinUAE is generally easy enough to get going and a quick Google will provide several sites with "getting started" guides...

Err... Shouldn't that be "either transfer a Kickstart ROM image from your real Amiga or purchase Amiga Forever" ?!

Check out Amiga Forever - this provides a bootable Amiga environment that requires no configuration, as well as a set of legally licensed Kickstart ROMs for use with WinUAE/E-UAE. It'll be much less hassle for you in the long run.

It'd be nice if the Kickstart ROM and Workbench software was officially made "abandonware", and/or licensed for use in a similar way to how Amstrad has done it with the ZX Spectrum ROMs...  

However, even if this was the case, I'd still advocate buying Amiga Forever (I have!) - it's a decent and well put together package, and the additional video material alone is worth it for historical interest value.
