Help installing WB 1.3 on HD!

[Daniele]

Hello,

I don't have any problem creating an HD on WinUAE and installing OS 2.0/3.0/3.1.

The problem is that I need to install WB 1.3 on HD for some software and I only have WB 1.3 and Extras Disk.
I do not have any install disk.

What can I do?

Do I need maybe A590 install disk?

Please let me know and thank you in advance

There's no installer. Copy the wb floppy contents to the HDD.

WB 1.3 is quite painful to use though, any particular reason you can't use 2.x/3.x?

As Piru says, just copy everything. That's exactly what the various hard disk controller install disks do.

I wanna have fun assembling oldskool intros and I think that KS 1.3 would be better.Isn'it?


@Piru I solved with ASM One V1.2 the version I used didn't create working executables with WO:namefile.
ASM V1.2 that works with KS1.3 Works fine!

I like WB 1.3  I think it's cool.  What we need is an Ultimate Workbench 1.3 install, kinda like AmiKit or AmiSys!

It's called Workbench 2.

No it wouldn't. Just because your intros run on older OSes doesn't mean you need to suffer, too.

Use your nice OS 3.x setup with proper editors, debuggers and stuff. The underlying OS is irrelevant for oldskool intros/demos as these things mostly bang the HW directly anyway.

I remember sprucing my old A2000 WB1.3 up with "Dropshadow" and "Exploding Windows" back in the good old days.

Well what I meant was with all the cool PD enchancements tools/apps/utils all included in one package.  Not transforming it into WB 2 or 3  

I have an A500HD that I run WB on it.  I have a 120MB laptop HD on it and it would be perfect for something like that.  I am slowly doing that to it, just having a hard time finding any WB 1.x tools and apps!

Fish disks are full of programs for AmigaOS 1.x.  The disks are in chronological order too.  I think FF 500 was compiled in mid 1991 so if you were to limit your search to that and earlier you should find lots of programs.
