A1000 to A1000
« on: October 05, 2005, 08:35:36 PM »
Well what can say Had a Amiga 1000 approx 1994 expaneded it to 2MB memory and a 1060 sidecard. A1000 died so then moved to an Amiga 1200 and wanted faster more expandable machine so then got the best Amiga I ever had the good old Amiga 4000/030. Sold the 4000 in 1999 (stupid I know worst thing I ever did)Thought I was going to loose money if I held onto it how wrong I was.Have over the last 12months Got hold of another A1000 which reminded me how advanced the oS was at the time and brought back good memory's.

Brought an Amiga 2000 many years ago with no keyboard with a plan to get it up and running well with getting a Keyboard recently for it this hopefully can now move forward.With help from this site and its users.

Amiga Kit I have at present stored in boxes etc
A1200 Internal harddrive Ext CDROM(no accelerator or extra memory) (yet)
A1000 *2 one working
CDTV
CD32
A500 A590

Aim is to get back to an Amiga 4000 one day.

Well just an update on the Amiga 2000


Have brought a SCSI card for it ADSCSI 2080.Also have got a 1GB HD setup on it(will look to increase this once I have it up and running).The Board will take 8 1MB 30 pin simms so might be sourcing some of these next.

But waiting for the Fusion 68040 Accelerator pos with memory I have just brought.Should have it in the next 2 weeks.

Could do with some help installing the OS to the HD.
The Amiga 2000 has Kickstart 37.175 on it (Thinks its version 2.04).But might be incorrect.

Any advice on how to get Workbench 2.05 or 3 onto the drive have prep the drive with utils that came with it and can boot with it as long as floppy is in drive.

used copy df0:  dh0: all(As suggetsed in the SCSI controller book) It has been used to copy the disk but get guru error message trying to boot HD with 2.05 disk data. If use same command with Workbench 3 disk Hard disk tries to boot but asks for floppy halfway through boot.(Suspect as copied of floppy startup script has ref to Floppy disk).

Once find my complete Workbench 3 disks will try HD install with that.

Any pointers or suggestions gratefully received.
