Thanks AMIGASYSTEM, now I think that I know how to do it.

AMIGASYSTEM · 25 January 2016, 20:20

OK, i remember fine, AmigaOS is also possible to copy even floppy PC

Tracksaver tsgui to transform .img into custom .adf disks
PC-Task to manage aboot hd, compatible with bridgeboard
WinUAE can read directly 360KB .img via the bridgeboard by setting a: on the df2:

Thanks Gilloo, it is working now.

One more question, it is possible to emulate a 386 bridgeboard and run Windows 3.1? (From what I have read, not.)

Gilloo · 29 January 2016, 18:25

The only version of Windows with 2088XT I can use is: Windows Premiere Edition.

I can get as far as Windows 3.0 with the 386 bridgeboard. Windows 3.1 tries to load but then hangs at the start screen.

On Windows 3.1 starts perfectly, Win3.11 an Win95 trying to load but then hangs at the start screen

Windows 3.11 works in standard (win /s) instead of the enhanced mode.

Gilloo · 29 January 2016, 21:14

After modifying TimeServ (with the Tom Rockiki routine using DateStamp() from the code found inside the Programmer's Guide to the Amiga, Sybex Edition)
And totally rewrote the MouseServ, the Windows 1.02 from my original bridgeboard comes to live again.

@Toni Many Many Thanks for WinUAE, it is the most amazing emulator ever seen !
All is working well.

Please Toni!

How do I create 500 MB HDFs for use with the 386 bridgeboard? I have plugged the AT IDE Primary (0) and created a 500 MB HDF, have used the automatic WinUAE settings for it, when the 386 boots the BIOS says that the HDF doesnt have a bootsector, but when I run FDISK and create the primary partition it issues the runtime error "integer divide by zero". Whats that, why it is issuing it?

To you it does not work because you're probably using Windows for Workgroups 3.11, parameter /S not available in Windows for Workgroups 3.11

Yes, I was talking about Windows 3.11 and not about Windows for Workgroups 3.11

AnnaWu · 30 January 2016, 11:14

@Arnie and @Leandro Jardim
Check my PM

Correct the paths (if necessary) for the hard disk images, BIOS CMOS RAM file (VGA_IDE_Primary_HDD_Boot_Flash.nvr) and ROMs (5420.vbi/A2386SX 1.00 391168-01.bin)

VGA Switch: Home + F9
Mouse Switch on PC side: Insert + P
Start Windows with: win /s
on command line

AnnaWu · 30 January 2016, 17:29

Maybe the Windows startup logo (1st picture) for Windows 3.11 is a bit confusing but it is version 3.11 (see the About Program Manager window) and easy to change.
Not know why M$ not changed the version on the Windows startup logo.
As I said, I am talking about Windows 3.11 and not about Windows for Workgroups 3.11

You might correct. I'll have to check it this weekend.
3.11 or 3.11

Special thanks to AnnaWU

Thankyou very much for the official Windows 3.11 VGALOGO.RL_ file, AnnaWu!

I made my own for Windows 3.11 back in the day by cloning the '1' in the expanded Windows 3.1 opening screen and recentreing with Paintshop Pro. I can now replace it with the proper one (although mine compresses slightly better

).

AnnaWu · 30 January 2016, 23:35

Windows 3.11 was released on November 8, 1993
So the year(s) for the copyright are different too.

A minor point. My friends were still impressed!
