Help Using Amiga SCSI disks with AMIKIT

[magnetic]

Wow!

Amikit is kick ass. Great job. This is perfect for people who left the Amiga scene and want to get back into things. I have a question:

I have a bunch of SCSI drives from my old ppc Amiga 4000T I'd like to read data from on this Athlon XP bx with Amikit. Is it just a simple matter of installing the drives (of course the pc has a scsi card) and Amikit will read them automatically?

Or is there something I must do in the config? I'm relatively new to UAE so any help/hints is appreciated. I have lots of important data i'd like to access.

Thank you

AmiKit won't do anything for you. It's just a collection of Amigas programs which don't change no matter how many devices are connected to the PC. WinUAE is the one who can help you. If you add your HDDs to the WinUAE config, they will be available to AmigaOS and then indeed they will show up on AmiKit's desktop (which actually is the standard Amiga Workbench, just customised to look nice).

So run WinUAE, click the AmiKit config once and click on Load, then go to Hard Drives, click on Add Harddrive and choose your Amiga HDD. Then click on Ok to start AmiKit with the changed config. If you want to keep the changes permanently, go to the Configurations page first and save the config before you click on Ok.

Bye,
