WTB: 40MB or less 2.5" Hard Disk and WB2.# Disks (including Install)

[tokyoracer]

As title really, after a working hard drive for my A600 and would be also nice to have WB2.# on it too (A set of disk's preferbly). I have never used this OS but I think it would make a nice change from the WB3.0+ OS's I have used for years. I am preferbly after a Hard Disk that is 40Mb or just under but nothing below 20Mb preferbly.

Thanks for looking. :-)

@ McVenco, Because the ROM's wont allow more then 40Mb. I think that is the limit anyway.

@ pyrre, $75 is a ridiclus ammount for a hard drive. The AmigaKit link however could be useful. Thasnks. :-)

I have a couple of 2.1GB drives but I thought that was far too much. But if they will work then that would be great.

I take it WB2.1 is the highest that is fully comptible with my ROMs?

I will give it a look this evening. I think its a 37.300 or higher. The Aminet HDToolbox sounds like a good option. Thanks again for the help. :-)

I have 3.1 in my other A600, yes it's good but even with an extra 1Mb of fast it is a tad choppy. I just thought that WB2.# of some sort would be alot smoother. Plus this one doesn't have extra RAM.

I think you're confusing Kickstart 3.1 with Workbench 3.1.

No i'm not, I have 2 A600's. One has 3.1 and WB3.1 and this has 2.05 37.300 and no hard drive at the moment.

As for the ROM itself, it has 2 ROMs on a board. The top is a "37-300 V2.05". The bottom one just says "NEC 315093-02 1988 CBM"

Well I managed to dig up a set of 2.05 WB disks (of which I didn't think I had) and can't work out how to install it on one of my 2.1GB drves. It reads it ok but I can get the partition to appear on the Workbench to format. I tried to follow the A1200 method as close as possible but no luck. Are there any tutorials?

[tokyoracer]

@ Colani1200, I used HDToolbox and is only 1 partition (DH0). does it only work with 2?

[tokyoracer]

About 2098MB or something close.

I will give that a go, thanks. :-)

Ok I have tried HDToolbox but it's no good. It's seems fine of the A1200 but on the A600 it turns German and comes up with an error after it loads up, then it quits on "ok". I can't even get it to work on the normal HDToolbox as it seems to work at first glance but doesn't warm re-boot when you save changes and I can't seem to Ctrl, A, A with it aswell. Once it did work (don't know how I managed it) and did come up with partitions but as soon as I asked it to format I got an error "Insert DF0 Disk" or something like that.
It seems Amiga error's often don't help very much at all most of the time. :madashell:
