Clean Install WB Help

[slaapliedje]

For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure when you create an emergency disk after setting up the initial OS3.9, it will copy over the 060 libs to the floppy disk, at least that seems to have been the case with mine.

I was laughing because my other guess was "did you possibly label the hard drive as DF0: and it was getting confused?"  I wouldn't think so, but that would have been funny.

I'm going through the same process for the most part, fresh install, bb1, bb2, picasso/mediator/roadshow, bb3, bb4... but then the problem is all the things that make the OS more usable, like magic-menu, etc.  Seriously, going from Magic-Menu to no Magic-Menu is so painful...

I had a full on Amikit for Real setup, but it didn't agree with me losing the cyberstorm mk1, and would give me memory errors and crash.  But it started doing the same to me after I installed BB3, so not sure what was going on there... so was going to start over from scratch again

Good luck and have fun getting it set up again!  Part of the adventure, I figure.

Nice!  The cards in my Mediator (A4000D) are (going from top down) Spider 2, Ethernet, Radeon 9250 then Mediator board.  Then I have in Zorro slots, the ZorRAM (I  should probably send that off to get it updated to 256mb instead of the 128mb, since I lost my fast memory ) and a FastATA MK VIII.  

I still need to spend some quality time with my Amiga so I can use her again...

Been getting my Atari Falcon online, or at least attempting to, in between playing Elite: Dangerous.

One thing I've noticed when getting back into the Atari vs the Amiga is that the Amiga is much easier to get (considering where it starts) insane amounts of memory.  It's also much easier to find software (thanks to Aminet, I had to ask around for where I could get more Atari stuff).  

Also of course as always, it's easier to get a working desktop on the Atari (pretty much all in ROM!)  but hardware projects seem about equal, though may projects for the Amiga are plug and play, whereas for both the ST line and the 8-bit line, a lot of them require soldering.  

Sorry, bit off topic, but kind of interesting.

Much like the Amiga and it's choices of 'ready made shake and bake Workbench setups' the ST line seems to have a few variants on MiNT, most of which are pretty out of date.  I made a joke elsewhere about porting workbench 3.1 to the Atari ST now that the source is out there...
