Setting up Amiga OS 3.9

[gcr]

Hi all,

I'm pretty new to the Amiga scene and have recently put together an Amiga tower system based on an A1200 mobo, Blizzard T/ERC 1240 accelerator and Blizzard SCSI adapter kit. Attached to the SCSI kit via a 25pin to 50pin adapter are a 2.1gb HDD on ID1 and a CD-ROM on ID3.

I've acquired a copy of Amiga OS 3.9 but have no Emergency floppy.

I have several questions that I hope you can help me with:

1. How I can create an Emergency floppy for this machine? I've heard of WinUAE - can I create a floppy on the PC using the Amiga OS 3.9 CD and then use it in the Amiga to start the installation process?

2. I'm assuming I can use the HDD and CDROM off the Blizzard SCSI adapter via the 25pin to 50pin converter. Do I need any additional files for the SCSI adapter and do I need to observe any particular SCSI setups such as setting parity / non-parity and the best way to terminate the SCSI bus.

A lot to ask I know but I'm eager to get this system up and running. Thanks for any help you can give.

Didn't you get any other floppy disks with the computer ? Workbench 3.1 for example ?

Hi Thomas,

Yes, I have a set of Workbench 3.1 disks. I take it from your reply that I can use these disks as a basis for booting the machine

If so, I'd be grateful for any assistance in setting up scripts etc. to get the machine up and running.
