A4000 Video

[Darrin]

I use that same Scan Doubler/Flicker Fixer on my A4000D (robbed it out of my old A1200T) and it does the job well.  I also threw in a Cybervision 643D so that I can surf the web with a good display and don't forget to add a Deneb USB card.  :-)

what you really need is a set of working workbench floppies. and do a fresh install of workbench. you don't need 3.1 rom for writing adf's to disks. but transferring those adf's from PC to amiga will be a problem. you can format a 1.44 floppy at PC (normal PC format) and use it on amiga with crossdos. It should read 1.44 as a4000 drives should be HD. you can transfer one adf at a time this way (880 k)

as for your question about the cd rom, I think 3.1 workbench had some cd rom support albeit very buggy. You need a cd rom filesystem, what was it I used ... amicdfs ?

Yep, if he can track down some ADF images of WB3.1 then he can make a simple bootable disk off his 3.1 floppies and if he drags the PC0: out of the storage Devs draw and sticks it in his booting Devs draw then he can make a set of disks.

Do a hard Drive install off OS3.1 and you have everything you need on the floppies to read a CD.  The only problem I had was that the CD needed to be in the drive when I booted and it didn't recognise a change of CD without rebooting.  I didn't investigate it because the next thing I did was install OS3.9 off CD.
