Workbench 1.3
« on: January 16, 2003, 06:10:36 PM »
Aloha,

Is it possible to run Workbench 1.3 with KickStart 1.2 ?



What are the benefits from W1.3 ?

Yes.

>edit   

Mmm Shell instead of "bare CLI is what comes to my mind, don't know
anything else as I started with Kick1.3+WB1.3.

Ahhh those were the days, when you thought that 512k-expansion would
cure your memory-problems once and for all   :-o

1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

@Godfather-

Yep... Kronos is correct.

the program sys:c/setpatch (which should be in your standard workbench 1.3 startup-sequence) will patch what it needs to run on a 1.3 rom.

You'll get Shell available (command history, primitive pattern matching (via #? not *, though)) Seems like there were also a few fairly critical bug patches, and possibly the first appearance of the FastFileSystem.  (it's in 1.3 for sure... Just don't remember if it was in 1.2 or not)

If you have a hard drive controller for your Amiga, though, you'll still have to leave it in 1.2 autoboot (or manual boot, if it doesn't have that option) as that *IS* dependent on the 1.3 rom.

Yep, real and clean autoboot was the main point of Kick1.3, how could
I forget that  ......

You are also right about FFS, that was introduced with WB1.3,
but I'm not sure if Kick1.3 had direct support for it, or if you
allways needed an OFS-boot regardless of Kick1.2 or 1.3.

Yes. Except printer.device, it will crash.

Bye,

FFS was only for Hraddisk. You could use it for floppies,
but you had to create a special mountlist entry in the big
mountist. you couldn't go dircetly over dfx: (I named it fs0: etc.)

Hi, I am also curious about Kickstart 1.1 and 1.3 with Workbench 1.1 and 1.3 -- I have an old Amiga 2000 that I haven't touched in years and suddenly find I would like to extract old text files (in, of all things, Scribble word processing program), but can't quite get it to load the Scribble files -- I can see the menu items, but when I try to open them, the ol' Lizzie just doesn't do anything. (By the way, this particular 2000 has an IBM XT bridge board in it, but I don't think that's interfering... who knows...) Any thoughts? Anyone in Southern California that would like to look at this relic?

Be careful how you talk about her now....she may hear ou. You can have more fun with this "Old Relic" than you can imagine!  Check out what some of us have been doing with "Our Old Relic's".

:+)  ... Relic refers more to my mind than the machine, I guess. It's just that I'm embarrassed to come waltzing along 12 years or more since I bought it (after first starting out with an Amiga 1000 in the 1980s) and then dropping out of sight (Amiga-wise) after Commodore abandoned it (as best I can recall); and I never fully did pursue desktop vid on it, but if I can get it to crank up again, I'm not going to abandon it. Anyone in Southern California I can hobnob with and see what they've done? Or can you direct me to parts of Amiga.org that deal with the 2000? My first concern, though, is trying to extract (or, rather, convert) Scribble files into Word (or at least figure out how to even call the files up and then email them). Sigh...

@Spyros

I Love 1.3.3 too.

@Gibbin

Can you give more details?

Amiga! 1.3.3 is leaps and bounds ahead of 3.11 (windoze)!
