Installing WB3.1 and set it to boot on a bootable PCMCIA + CF Card
« on: September 07, 2011, 11:37:28 PM »
Hi, after solving my hardware questions thanks to this forum and its kind members, now I have few software questions. I think that what I am asking is FAQ, but I neither found replies in the FAQ or in the tutorials of this forum. I think my question should inspire someone to write a tutorial about it!
 
I have bought the PCMCIA + CF card. I was thinking if it is possible to install WB in it and boot from it, given that CC0 is one of the booting opton in the A1200 bootup menu. I am waiting also the CF-IDE adapter but I can't wait now that I already have the PCMCIA. Installing WB on the Card via PCMCIa, would that mean I cant transfer files on it to the pC?
 
 
Can you kindly instruct how this is achieved and for the sake of oother fellows the critical setup steps that are needed (Eg. set max transfer rate in HDtoolbox).
 
I would appreciate a fast reply so tomorrow I could wipe my eyes with excitment when I see the Amiga installed on HD and running some games after 11 years.
 
If such tutorials exist,, then simple provide me the link.
 
You may answer this in the tutorial section - it would be a great and well-referred to link.
 
Regards
Stephen

I see thanks, very much! So I will use the PCMCIA only to transfer files and disk images as originally planned !
 
Actually I bought the CF-IDE adapter too, but it is still on the way to Malta, so in the meantime, I tried to install a bootable WB3.1 via PCMCIA. As yuo are saying, I have to forget it and wait.
