You should have a AmigaOS 2.xx disk called Install. that one is used to install amiga OS on HD, partition it etc.
That's true, but only if the A600 have the kickstart version 37350. Earlier versions can't handle the IDE interface (although version 37300
may handle HD's up to 40Mb).
But like bloodline suggest, upgrading to OS 3.1 is recommended. That would include new ROM chip and disks.
Then its basicly down to what you want.
To take advantage of the full 40gb hd out of the box I would recommend a IDE interface from ELBOX. It ships with lba48 addressing modes drivers and with added features of CD/DVD drivers and an additional IDE port.
The Elbox IDE interface is not intended for AGA Amigas?
To get the fastest performance I would recommend SFS filesystem aswell.
As far as I know, SFS will not work on Amigas with 68000 CPU, only with 68020 or up!
so to sum it up: this would be recommended.
OS 3.1 floppy set
OS 3.1 Rom A600
Elbox IDE interface
If you know your way around EBAY you can get this considerably cheaper.
Next you should perhaps forget about os 3.9 and above. you can get 3.1 fairly up to speed with the updates classicWB contains.
hope this helps
Amiga OS3.9
can run on A600 too! But not the ROM updates. All needed is ROM 3.1 (and a CD-ROM to install it). More memory is a must-have for this kind of upgrade, like the one LordV make, and is available in
this site. Only US40.00 (plus shipping)!:cheers:
