Windows on A2000.

Yep that was me, Zetro did get excited when I told him and I have to get some piccys done this weekend.

It's actually Windows 3.0, I've installed alongside DOS6.2

Win 3.1 is not possible with an 8086 CPU which the KCS board has
Win 3.0 however does have 3 modes of execution.
Win /r being real or 8086 mode.

The display update is very slow, due to Bitplane to VGA conversion by KCS software but VGA 16 colour is presented using an amiga interlaced display mode.

It's not really useable but it's a great laugh, my old 386 couldn't emulate the Miggy, but my old A500 can run Windows
 :lol:

Anyway congrats on the 2000, I've recently aquired one and I'm in the process of beefing her up....

Hi r0jaws

16 Colours is the ECS Max I'm afraid...
The switch box idea is superb, being fully passive & switched there was no doubt in my mind it would work, keeps getting better does it not.

BTW your screenbackdrop is a photo of your A2000 motherboard (Megachip clearly visible LOL)
Can I claim my small prize now.

All the Best
TC  :-D
