BACKSTORY
hi. i'm a newb to the amiga scene. i've had an amiga 1200 that i bought from ebay in 2009 (cant remember what i paid for it, was a lot), which looked appealing with a load of things (thought it was the ultimate bundle at the time). most of the disks were boxed and some didnt work so like an idiot i disposed of them..all. i know, blasphemy, thought at that time was space saving. the amiga i have is yellowed from a smokers home, came with a 4mb accelerator inside, a really horrible commodore tank mouse which doesn't track very well/at all and the keyboard is a nightmare to type on as the keys just push back, feels rigid (compared to a cpc 464 or even the dell L100 i'm typing on atm). so all in all my experience to the amiga has been marred by an a-hole ebay seller making a nice buck from a noob buyer
thats why i had put it into storage until now, retro bug has bitten..
now i want to give it another chance and spend some money in the right places, but for now i have a cf-ide (adapter and 4gb cf card) and want to install workbench 3.0 (as i kept the manual) but have no workbench disks. when i connect the ide/cf to the amiga 1200 it asks for workbench disks with the hand with a floppy
OBJECTIVE
**here's what i want to do,
- connect my cf card to the pc via usb
- install workbench using winuae on the cf
- place adf files from pc to the cf card
- connect the cf via ide to the amiga
- have the amiga running the cf 4gb card happily
**^is their a noob-friendly guide anywhere for this?
EXTRA
next i want to be able to use a laser mouse (microsoft intellimouse) and want to connect it to the amiga via a usb adapter. i have a sega megadrive joypad which works
