Putting OS1.3 on an EPROM chip possible?
« on: March 01, 2007, 08:06:51 PM »
Harkening back to Motorollins way cool experiment of putting OS3.9 on an EPROM  THREAD I was wondering about other Amiga's. I have a chance to get a cheap A500, and was wondering about the possibility of putting 1.3WB on the EPROM?

I haven't owned one of these in a long time, so, is that physically possible?

To tell you the truth, I'm still somewhat confused about how the hardware functions, although, with some work, maybe I'll get the hang of it someday. :hammer: What does the ROM chip actually DO, or how does it work, in combination with Workbench? If you can, please be as un-technical as possible. Thanks.

Ah! That makes things a little more understandable. Thanks everyone.

Alexh, I already have a A1200 and A3000D with the standard HD and accelerator, so things are satisfactory in that area. My bringing up this topic is the possiblity of getting a stock A500 nearby, and i'm thinking of possibilities of what I could do with a slightly beat up miggie, one that you wouldn't mind hacking around with. The mod jobs that I've seen other people do, are quite inspiring.
