Install CD0 on WB 3.1

rincewinda · 04 March 2019, 18:49

Would anyone have any information on what I would need to do to install an CD Drive on WB 3.1

WB 3.1 is installed on a hard drive in my A1200 already, I just need to figure out what to do from here.

I'm currently trying to use an Archos Overdrive CD - http://amiga.resource.cx/exp/overdrivecd

The above link has some files on it for drives and so on, but i'm unsure how to get these over to my amiga from the PC.

Can an amiga read the fat file system maybe? I do have an PCMCIA to CF adapter, so could perhaps get a 2nd CF card if it would be possible for the amiga and the PC to be able to read the same card.

I have a wired network card for the A1200, I haven't installed this either however so unsure if this would work, I was going to try and get the CD Rom to work first.

I have this PCMCIA CD player that I haven't used in 25 years, it comes with software for mounting, but if i remember correctly you can also use other drivers

Yes you can mount a FAT volume on AmigaOS, you also need the right drivers here.

On this video of mine you can see on AmigaOS the assembly and disassembly of two MemoryCards in FAT16/32 on WinUAE.

WinUAE can read .dms files, all you need to do is insert it under floppy drives tab and copy it's contents to your cf card or a folder on your pc.

Yes, DMS image files can also be converted in ADF on PC with a click, convert them as well in group.

For an A1200, I would think the easiest way of exchanging files is to pick up a PCMCIA to CF adapter and get FAT95 from Aminet. Of course that doesn't solve the original problem of how to get the files on the Amiga first. Do you have a PC0 device in sys:devs/dosdrivers or sys:storage/dosdrivers? If you do then a PC 720k formatted floppy is an option-I guess.
