Need help with WB

DeafDaz · 07 January 2012, 21:59

Hi there

I have made a backup of My Workbench 1.3 ADF using Winuae By using the Shell Diskcopy from df0:to df1: command (I am Backing up the ADF to a Blank ADF). That was a successful Operation. However. I have rebooted the Emulator booting the Backup using quickstart A500 mode. I have tried to modify my backup by typing (in the Shell) ed s/Startup-sequence and get the following message: Unable to load Ed insufficient free store. i want to modify my backup image for use in WinUAE but this message is preventing me from doing so. Can u help pls.

Edit: I am also using Kickstart 1.3. with WB1.3

I thought it might be not enough memory but, no matter how much you increase the memory the problem persists.

Try notepad instead.

BTW, you can copy adf's in windows.

Blast! now I need lha in ADF format to make copying and installing .lha files from aminet as the bloody thing is in .rar format I prefer .zip or ADF as they are easier for me to use. I have downloaded Textengine from Aminet and i am in need of LHA toextract it.

also tried notepad in wb 1.3 the files look corrupted when using Notepad to edit and change Startup-sequence.

WinRAR can open lha files.

Have you got the Extras disk? There is a program in the tools dir named 'memacs' for editing.

EDIT: If you are using the Amiga Forever WB 1.3.adf, then ED wont work. You have to use an original WB 1.3. adf.

Ah well

Thanks for clearing that one up. I am using AF WB1.3

I am scouring the net for Amiga format cover disks. I know that Amiga Format gave away LHA on one of their cover disks.

just a matter of finding it and copying the file to my backup WB adf.

You can find lha here http://aminet.net/package/util/arc/lha

If you need to transfer files to adf, an easy method is to use a folder in windows, copy the lha files to it, then mount the folder as a HardDrive and unpack the lha files to the HardDrive.

I am having problems with the lha program. I am Using winuae v1.3.3 I Have used the Lha.run files 2 self extract the lha files to a blank .ADF after extracting the program. I noticed the files contain Lha_68k, Lha_68020, lha68040_ and the neccesary docs. I have tried to extract a .lha file on WB 1.3 and 3.0 With the same result, I cd'd in20 df1: (where the Lha file and the target .lha file is) I typed lha_68k x Ced_ed_v4.lha ram:

I get a message Unable to open file.
can u help?

What are you using to boot WinUAE with, the A500 default?

The syntax you are using is correct, is the file Ced_ed_v4.lha copied to the floppy ok?

DeafDaz · 20 January 2012, 20:03

it is now

I missed out a letter in the filename sorted. Tried to start the file. Not loading for some reason.Lookingfor a good text editir so for WB1.3 So I can get on with scripting

What did Amiga Forever do to break ED? Are there other issues with Amiga Forever's Workbench versions?

**EDIT**
I did discover the issue with ED, though. It seems that it is not compatible with "24-Bit Addressing" of the 68EC020 chip. I don't know how that got turned on in my WinUAE, and I haven't tested the disks on my physical Amiga 2000 yet (it's boxed up right now.) However, if I clear the "24-Bit Addressing" box under "CPU and FPU" in WinUAE it seems to work just fine.
