Compact Flash not working with Bloodwich advanced.

@JJ
he means Classic Workbench advanced setup, prepared by BloodWych from EAB forum.
@raj
no, you're definitely having a pcmcia/8mb mayhem here, nothing to do with classic workbench.

EDIT : Link removed due to request

That's a lie. The installation ADF is included in the archive (it too includes © files). The installation procedure doesn't copy any files from original disks, either.

Piru, if you're referring to the ClassicWB Real Amiga Install disk, that's just a utility disk to unzip an installed cwb installed setup on a real amiga. I don't think there's any © stuff there, and it definitely can't be used instead of a real workbench disk. Now, I can't standup for classic workbench having any copyright material, but I'm sure that floppy image can't be used to bypass workbench disk request.

I removed the link anyway due to not wanting take any chances.

Since I had some time, I had a look at the installer script. This is the workbench protection part :

Code: [Select]


IF "`df0:c/which DF0:`" EQ "Workbench3.0:"
   ECHO ""
   ECHO "Disk appears to be Workbench 3.0 release."
   ECHO ""
   ECHO "Checking version number..." NOLINE
   df0:c/wait 1
   df0:c/VERSION >nil: DF0:libs/version.library 39 FILE
      IF WARN
         ECHO "INCORRECT!"
         SKIP SECOND
      ELSE
         ECHO "CORRECT!"
         SKIP PASS
      ENDIF
   ECHO ""
ENDIF

LAB SECOND

IF "`df0:c/which DF0:`" EQ "Workbench3.1:"
   ECHO ""
   ECHO "Disk appears to be Workbench 3.1 release."
   ECHO ""
   ECHO "Checking version number..." NOLINE
   df0:c/wait 1
   df0:c/VERSION >nil: DF0:libs/version.library 39 FILE
      IF WARN
         ECHO "INCORRECT!"
         SKIP FAIL
      ELSE
         ECHO "CORRECT!"
         SKIP PASS
      ENDIF
   ECHO ""
ENDIF


which means you need a floppy with at least the version command and the version.library (both of which do not exist on the real_amiga_install disk). Ok, you can write your own dummy version command and version.library to go with it, but it's pretty out of the scope of avarage joe I guess.

Anyway, and here are the files copied from the workbench disk :

Code: [Select]


copy >NIL: df0:c/Addbuffers SYS:c
copy >NIL: df0:c/Binddrivers SYS:c
copy >NIL: df0:c/Conclip SYS:c
copy >NIL: df0:c/Delete SYS:c
copy >NIL: df0:c/Dir SYS:c
copy >NIL: df0:c/Ed SYS:c
copy >NIL: df0:c/Edit SYS:c
copy >NIL: df0:c/IPrefs SYS:c
copy >NIL: df0:c/List SYS:c
copy >NIL: df0:c/Makedir SYS:c
copy >NIL: df0:c/Mount SYS:c
copy >NIL: df0:c/Rename SYS:c
copy >NIL: df0:c/Version SYS:c
copy >NIL: df0:c/Wait SYS:c


actually, yeah it's not that they cared to leave copyrighted stuff out, but it's still useless to someone without a workbench floppy.
