amiga 500 questions...

[skywalkgr]

Hello


I recently bought from ebay an amiga 500 and i am pretty much excited!! I never owned this amiga model and i can say that is a real beauty

To my questions...

I want to use workbench 1.3.2 as operating system.

1.) How i can possible do this? I mean i want the operating system running from HDD not floppy.
2.) Do i need an accelerator board with scsi controller and HDD. Is there an alternative way to have HDD to an amiga 500?
3.) Do i have to buy newer version of kickstart roms?
4.) Is it possible to use whdload to this machine?

Any other ideas are welcome of course


Thank you.

runequester thank you for your reply!

I was wondering if it would be easier if i make some modifications to my amiga 1200.
For example is there a way i can have both kickstart 1.3 and kickstart 3.1 inside my 1200 with a rom switcher maybe...? I dont want to use ReloKick or something similar to it.

To be more specific i would like to play old a5oo games such as Shadow Of The Beast II that i own in original disks and with a1200 its impossible :/

Pls Pls Pls give me some ideas...

@Templario:

1. Floppy disk drive is in excellent condition Impossible huh?!
2. M-TEC A500 looks fantastic but i think its too hard to find anymore...
3. If i remember correctly its Rev.5 board... i will check when i will return home to be sure.
4. This is true but there are alot NDOS disks out there also...
5. Everything is in perfect working condition

Do you have any ideas on where i can find some empty 720K DD floppies?
