Amiga 1200 - 040 (40mhz) + Compact flash ide
« on: April 22, 2008, 12:34:28 AM »
Hi all,

    Im preparing my Amiga 1200 with 040 40mhz accelerator for fun. Im using a 1gb compact flash as ide hard drive. They have limited capacity for read/write sectors, so, Im carefully selecting games and applications to install.
    I have already installed several whdload vintage games and some of the applications that I used to use as AMOS and Storm C.
    But, I would like to receive some suggestions, related to new games (that could work fine with my 040 40mhz) and some stand-alone applications, for fun, as protracker, octamed, scala, vista, deluxe paint and etc..
    I'll not connect it on the net!

Best Regards to all

Hey, Nice! Thank you all.
As you're also using Compact Flash, have any of you noticed any problems related to the fact that they have a limit number of times for saving?
And, is there a way to lock them for writing? I'm almost 100% sure that Workbench 3.1 does not do swapping or any other write operations during regular use, isn't it?

I'm "preparing" the 1gb file inside UAE, using a hardfile. Then I'll plug the CF Adapter into a notebook hard drive USB adapter :), format it inside UAE and finally I'll copy all files from my hardfile to the CF.

Q1) Should I use that other file system (SFS) or something like that? My original 1200 rom is 3.0
Q2) Should I use a program to do "Soft Kick"?

Best Regards to all!
