Over the past couple of years I've been buying various Commodore and Amiga items off of eBay, Craigslist, Amibay, etc... with the goal of getting back into Commodore 8-bit and Amiga after all this time. Because I've been so busy with work and family life I haven't done much other than sort through things, fix problems, and make quite a mess.
My last Amiga setup was an Amiga 4000 desktop 040/25 in 1992 or so, so it's been a while.
Work has been slow the past couple of weeks which has allowed me to really clean house in both my office and basement - and finally set up my Amiga 4000T in a dedicated spot!
Here it is:
http://www.techav.com/misc/amiga2013.jpg I have an Amiga 4000T 040/25 with 18MB RAM, Cybervision 64/3D video card, Commodore/Amiga 1080 monitor hooked via RGB, and a Dell LCD hooked to the VGA output. Is this a good configuration to get a nice, sharp Workbench while still running games on a CRT where I think they'd likely look best?
I have a clean Workbench 3.1 installed on a SCSI attached CF card (thanks Mech!) and am ready to have some fun.
I tried booting some old Amiga game floppies I have, and I was rudely reminded how few games work on a non-Kickstart 1.3, non-68000, non-OCS Amiga. Basically, I tried about 7 or 8 games and none would work.
Question #1: I've read a lot about WHDLoad and that seems to be the answer to my prayers. Before I start randomly searching around, is there a good FAQ anywhere on getting WHDLoad and all these childhood games I remember working on my Amiga 4000T?
Question #2: My Cybervision 64/3D is installed along with the Cybervision software, and I now have Workbench on my VGA output. Is this the best way to go, or is there something else I should be doing? All of my available resolutions are 4:3. How can I get some widescreen modes available?
It's going to take quite a bit of "unlearning" after all these years running Windows - so please bear with me!
