Amiga 1000 setup WB 1.3 Help
 

Hi All

I have Std Amiga A1000, I brought from mklfi Ram / ide68k adapter board
Now have it install in A1000, 8Mb Ram is working but now I need to install WB 1.3 or WB 2.0. I read on another forum it says I need kickstart rom in the A1000? So I have ordered on A1000 kickstart rom adapter from Paul in the US.

So my question is can I install WB in the meantime wine waiting for the adapter to arrive.

I have setup SD card with WB 1.3 in WinUae this work fine in WinUae but not in the A1000.

I have run the 1.3 Kickstart from disk then run the WB 1.3 disk but it will not show up SD card

Any help is appreciared

thank

The 1.3 ROM will require modifications (and become 512k) in order to be able to autoboot from the MKL board.

It should be possible to boot once from a floppy and loadmodule the scsi.device that you have procured from somewhere. (extracted from a 3.1 rom or perhaps downloaded as part of some preinstalled workbench distribution).

2.05 37.350 and newer will autoboot from the IDE slot.

I do something similar with my A1000. I have a kickwork floppy that kicks the machine, then it loads WB, or just enough of it from the floppy to load the IDE driver (in my case, my controller is IDE) and transfer control to the IDE drive to finish the boot.
So just one floppy (or image, as I do it from a Gotek currently).
