Workbench 1.3 & 3.1 Slaves?????

manic23 · 08 October 2017, 01:21

I've just come across something that confuses me greatly and makes me think there is a glitch in the Matrix!

WHDLoad installers for Workbench 1.3 and 3.1, what the heck! I thought WHDLoad was just for Games, Demos ect. How do these work? Do they load a copy of Workbench within Workbench like some kind of Virtual Machine?

Yes it loads OS 1.3 or 3.1 and you can "use" it but prepare for access faults. Just try it out.

In fact, it is not very well known even though the first version dates back to 2006. It might be interesting to test old applications on modern systems, made a small video test that shows running on AFA OS with a resolution 1024x768; unfortunately, WHDload does not work with Window mode.

I recently asked for a similar slave. I'd be interested in a generic CDTV-slave, passing through a CD0: to this slave.
No answer, yet
