My my... Patience really is a virtue!
"and guese what IT WORKS, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA"
It should have done so all along, if things were done correctly.
Most pc-users seems to have forgotten ye' olde MS-DOS unless they do networx.
So, it's hard to appreciate AmigaDOS which is way superior with it's UN*X-style shell/cli/console/dos-windows.
"its just a shame that the amiga hasnt kept up to date with software "
It must have been hard to "keep up" since Commodore went *bust* long ago,
but still, check out aminet f.ex. All the dedicated Amiga-users have ensured that
we have several web-browsers, amplifier, pdf, movieplayers and a sh*tload more.
And this is for hardware, like your A1200, which is really old today.
Not to talk about all that old software... 1000s of titles from wordprocessing to 3d-rendering!
"- Kickstart 3.x ROM Image (from somewhere)"
The kickstart ROM is a chip on your Amiga motherboard, compare it if you like, with
a peecee-BIOS. You need to transfer it to a file for emulation to work.
"- Workbench 3.x Disk/ADF Image
were do i get these from and how do i get an adf image of my wb disk the pc wont read amiga disks,"
That's actually the point, since Amiga reads PC-disks (among others), but the PC can't
read Amiga disks (due to hardware controllers), Amiga disks must also be "digitized", into
AmigaDiskFile-images (ADF), they are usually slightly larger than an original Amiga-disk.
I found that after the fall of Commodore, and the rize of win95, I found using peecees got easier
since they had stolen alot of concepts from other systems (Apple, C=, xerox etc.) From "multitasking" to semi-"drag'n drop".
I work with peecee's for a living, 'coz times change...
At home, I have, like you, a desktop Amiga1200 with internet and CDRW.
It takes time to set up such an old machine, with an OS from 1992, but once it is done;
You can expect *smarter* file-managing, true multitasking etc.
At home, I doubleclick an .lha, .zip, .rar, .mov, .avi .whatever and the corresponding
program (of my choice) opens up to view or unpack or edit.
I can even have different programs set to the same filetypes thanks to icons.
It appears to me that since you lack much of that "hands-on" experience,
OS3.9 would set up most things for you.
Then I'd like to ask a question, WHY did you buy it? Games? Productivity or ?what?
What were your expectations, really?
Best Regards, take a deep breath and take a walk outside if the weather permits.
I have to get back to those horrid xp/vista-machines
It pays the bills.
