Can Workbench Be installed to CF Drive via Gotek?

nathanm1991 · 01 May 2018, 12:58

Hi there Amiga Geniuses and Fans

My Question today is if it is Possible to Install Workbench 3.0/3.1 to CF Drive Via Gotek? I have a Amiga 1200 On its way (Will be here by Tomorrow :-)) And I ordered a 4GB CF Drive with Adapter From AmigaKit For £19.99 and it Comes all Ready and Setup for a OS to go Straight onto it. so A. Possible Via Gotek? B. is there a Beginners Installation Guide out there?

Many Thanks
Nathan Milnthorpe

As long as you have the adf files for workbench, then yes you can install workbench to a CF card if its being used as a hard drive. (A lot of disk swapping though)

I have just Purchased the ADF Files via AMIGAFOREVER, They Came Via Download and I got all of the Workbenches Registered in a Bundle Pack, Tried Workbench 1.3 on my A500 Through Gotek and Works Perfectly :-). Many Thanks to all who Read this post

Yes, I did install Wb a number of times from Gotek to CF without any problem.

I've just tried it and it loads correctly, including extras.

My next question is, once inside the workbench environment, can you select the following drive and boot games etc from Workbench?
