Workbench 1.3 Floppy Set needed

[Everblue]

I decided to get my Amiga 500 out of the attic and play around a bit with Amiga forever. Unfortunately my Workbench 1.3 is dead, kaputt, RIP. This is needed to be any use with Amiga Forever. I have looked on ebay but I there is none

Can someone perhaps direct me where I can get one?

Pretty please

Great, thanks. I see that they are located in the US. Would US versions of Workbench work fine on a PAL Amiga though?

[marauderII]

Sorry, I dont know about Pal. But do you have any disk that boots to cli? The command line. If you have any disk that boots.
you could try pressing CTRL-D to get to cli then follow instruction on amigaforever to make AEexplorer.

I have to do some changes in the serial configuration . How would I do that without workbench.

Any one in EU can help me out? I could paypal some £ for the money and postage. I'm in Malta.

Thanks!

Try here.

Thanks for the link...

Method A: with the TYPE command

Check that the serial settings are the same on both machines (e.g. 19200,8,N,1,RTS/CTS) PC: Properties ADF Sender Terminal, Amiga: Workbench-Preferences-Serial.

The TYPE command must be from Workbench 1.3 or older if you want to transfer a binary file like transdisk. Note: In the case of TYPE from Workbench 2.05 and higher ONLY text files are handled correctly.

You should use a copy of your Workbench disk.

Update... on that link you gave me:

"If you want to change the serial settings you have to start preferences on the Amiga Workbench or properties within ADF Sender Terminal on the PC."

So theoretically I could change Amiga serial preferences FROM PC, or I got it wrong?

You cannot change Amiga's serial settings from a PC.

Say where you're based and someone might just send you a copy of the necessary disks.

[Everblue]

Yup I thought so...

Anyway, a very nice person has offered to send the a set. I love Amiga.org! :-D

Don't you have WB 1.3 on the AmigaForever CD?

On my CD all versions from 1.0 up to 3.x are included...

You can use any WorkBench disks regardless of PAL/NTSC. They contain software for both I believe. Not 100% sure about 1.3, but 2.0+ do. Ask the seller. OldSoftware.com is likely to have several versions.

If you get a disk image from the net or Amiga Forever, and don't have another Amiga with a CDROM or ethernet, itll be quite hard getting the image to an Amiga floppy. I'd recommend buying a set online such as at that link, ebay, perhaps AmigaKit.com (in England)... or maybe someone here can send you a set.
