Hello :)


I recently bought from ebay an amiga 500 and i am pretty much excited!! I never owned this amiga model and i can say that is a real beauty :)

To my questions...

I want to use workbench 1.3.2 as operating system.

1.) How i can possible do this? I mean i want the operating system running from HDD not floppy.
2.) Do i need an accelerator board with scsi controller and HDD. Is there an alternative way to have HDD to an amiga 500?
3.) Do i have to buy newer version of kickstart roms?
4.) Is it possible to use whdload to this machine?

Any other ideas are welcome of course :)


Thank you.


If you can find one an GVP A530 is an easy A500 expansion with an 40 Mhz 68030
upto 8 meg of 32 bit ram and an SCSI controller.  Just may sure it already has ram, as GVP ram can be difficult to find.

If you cannot find a GVP A530 the GVP A500 HD 8+ is also nice.
