Workbench 1.3 Floppy Set needed
« on: August 31, 2007, 10:45:43 AM »
I decided to get my Amiga 500 out of the attic and play around a bit with Amiga forever. Unfortunately my Workbench 1.3 is dead, kaputt, RIP. This is needed to be any use with Amiga Forever. I have looked on ebay but I there is none :(

Can someone perhaps direct me where I can get one?

Pretty please :)

Great, thanks. I see that they are located in the US. Would US versions of Workbench work fine on a PAL Amiga though?

I have to do some changes in the serial configuration :( . How would I do that without workbench.

Any one in EU can help me out? I could paypal some £ for the money and postage. I'm in Malta.

Thanks!

Thanks for the link...

Method A: with the TYPE command

Check that the serial settings are the same on both machines (e.g. 19200,8,N,1,RTS/CTS) PC: Properties ADF Sender Terminal, Amiga: Workbench-Preferences-Serial.

The TYPE command must be from Workbench 1.3 or older if you want to transfer a binary file like transdisk. Note: In the case of TYPE from Workbench 2.05 and higher ONLY text files are handled correctly.

You should use a copy of your Workbench disk.

I'm pwn3d :(

Update... on that link you gave me:

"If you want to change the serial settings you have to start preferences on the Amiga Workbench or properties within ADF Sender Terminal on the PC."

So theoretically I could change Amiga serial preferences FROM PC, or I got it wrong?
