Getting OS 3.9 onto my 1200 without a CD-ROM

[Gulliver]

Let me see if I undrerstand you. You dont want to use WinUAE to install 3.9 from it, and then move the cf card to your Amiga.

You can copy the entire contents of the 3.9 cdrom to a drawer in your Amiga, and afterwards, assign that drawer the name AmigaOS3.9 and then install from over there.

BTW, It will also work when you are installing BoingBags.

Anyway, just in case, BoingBags 1 and 2 are password protected and their password is:

Boing Bag 3.9 #1            93ABDF11
Boing Bag 3.9 #2            3FB6986B-B0AD6339-4FF3254B

I hope this helps.

No, the 3.9 install looks for the AmigaOS3.9 assign. It doesnt really care if it is on a cdrom or not.

Well done, you should be on the right track now!

About whdload: I hope you are using the latest version 17.0 which fixes some incompatibilities with accelerators.

Anyway, I am glad 3.9 is now installed and working.

The problem is the incompatibility of Windows to support Amiga file attributes.
