HDworks now but now the Keyboard don't bat channel

I'll bring over all the Workbench disks we need, and maybe a spare 3.1 ROM and a ROM Switcher so you can switch between 3.1 and 1.3 (the best all-round combo).

I might even have a spare null-modem cable hanging around to use for linked games with the A2000 and an A500, or for transferring stuff to and from a PC to the Amiga. Only thing is you would need a PC with a big serial port.

If you want, we can try and install Classic Workbench onto it. It's a very popular Workbench distribution which has several programs and utilities pre-installed and ready to go. It also provides a good base to work from and is set up for WHDLoad games already.

Have a look at these and see if you like the look of them:

I'm glad that LUN jumper worked! I am so sorry the keyboard didn't work for you, I will bring my other one down next time. But until then I had an idea, I have to use this program on my A600 because its 6,Y,H, and N keys don't work. It's an on-screen keyboard that should help you to do some basic typing in Workbench, like renaming files or drives at least. It's called Mouseki and it opens on its own screen, so you can flip it in front of the screen you're using, or quickly drag it up and down when you need it. Just copy these files onto your hard drive, and use LHA to extract them, copy the font and its drawer into your Fonts drawer on the root drive, and I guess you can copy Mouseki to the Tools drawer. To make it easy to get to, click on it and select "Leave out" from the Icon menu.

You probably have LHA already in the C drawer in Gertsy's old stuff, so you could copy that to your boot partition's C drawer first, but this version I linked to is the very newest version. Hopefully there is a copy of Directory Opus or something in there too, because you'll need a GUI to extract these LHA files before you can use Mouseki for keyboard input! Oh dear...

At least you should have plenty of games to try amongst those ones I lent you, it might be fun to set up an A500 on the big TV for floppy games and the A2000 on the bench for productive/creative stuff. The S-Video adapter is one of the older models that http://www.AmigaManiac.com makes and sells and they produce a very crisp image on the TV provided you have a good S-Video cable, but the one I lent you isn't a very good quality cable so if you have one of your own it might work better.

I'm sorry I couldn't talk much the other night, but I'm glad you and Rebel got along, we'll all have to hang out again soon.
