If your using 40.68 then workbench.library will be there. in cli try.
Version Workbench.library, it should return the version.

However I think your problems are related to your other posts, file permission problems may cause odd issues.

Ja, this might be true.

I installed ClassicWB v27 and everything went 100% fine. Finally i can enjoy a highend Amiga

I let go AIAB for now...

Wow, this was a blast from the past.

Just read through this whole thread with a massive smile on my face!
Really take me back to the good old days; playing around with WinUAE, putting together updates and game packs etc. Wonderful memories!

I cannot believe folks also remember this little package from all those years ago!

I may have some slightly more up-to-date AIAB files at home, so might see if I can put something together and make it available to FOL - just for old times sake.

Cheers,
James

Hey James, that would be awesome.

MadAngus is currently going through all files to make sure nothing causes any legal issues, but I love AIAB. It was the first and only pre-installed packages I used back in the day of early WinUAE days.

You are a legend! Welcome to the forum! You're now in Japan?!

Your AIAB package was the first thing I used with WinUAE and thought it was awesome! I really think you set the trend for similar packages to follow.

If I recall correctly, you had an MP3 on the site. Now if memory serves me right it was "living in a box" but with the words "Amiga in a box" or was that me just imagining things!?

Thank you!

Yes, I'm living in Japan - my home for almost ten years. Wonderful place.

Cheers! It started out as just a snapshot of my current Workbench setup at the time (complete with the stripy green wallpaper!). A few friends asked if I could help them with their Amiga setups (for UAE), so one day I decided to zip it all up and make it available online.

Yep, well remembered! It was actually a snippet of the song 'Livin' in a Box' by the band of the same name. It was originally just a joke for a mate, but I ended up leaving it online permanently. At one point I thought about making a remixed version, dubbing in 'Amiga', but that would have been too cheesy.

Thanks again for the memories!

Ah so it was me imagining things. I thought you'd dubbed it haha... great stuff. Glad you back on the scene and looking forward to your update of AIAB as mentioned above!

FOL · 13 June 2013, 12:48

James,

If you want, I can give you access to the server, where its now hosted.

13 June 2013, 14:46

FOL, okay, thank you. That'll be good.

Hmm...I don't appear to have my AIAB files any more...just a folder with an r10.6 distribution and AFA-Aros.

To be honest, it may take me some time to refamiliarise myself with everything, I've been out of the loop for so long! Perhaps best not to get your hopes up...?

Cheers,
James

Thanks for putting AIAB together Jaybee, was that a decade ago?

It was what finally made WinUAE usable for me. Before, it was all manual downloads and installs. It is still a great snapshot of what we used all those years ago.

Living in Asia now? Maybe that explains all those screenshots that had beautiful asian girl wallpapers every update

It appears that some archives from 2007 are still online here:

Yep, already leeched,

I have learned various methods of digging about in the Web Archive.
Mostly you normally see stuff based on the html page you are viewing, but often there are files captured via other sources, or files linked from pages you cannot find.
(hint, it is all in how you use the *)

I found that my original link to the AIAB site needed updating, but then found that since last year the downloads have been disabled (even the original DLs).

Until that situation changes, or someone else hosts the files, here is my resource page

Still need to re-enable all downloads. Been very busy of late, so haven't had chance.
Will try this weekend.

I was a big fan of your AIAB site back in the day. I also followed your blog from Japan for awhile before I lost the bookmark (can't quite remember what happened). Glad to see that you're still enjoying your time there. I lived in Japan from 1985 to 1990. Was a great time in my life for sure.

Are the copyright-naggers gone already so that AIAB-files can be re-instated on the site?

Not as far as I know, will have to try and get hold of Angus.

Bamiga2002 · 08 November 2013, 13:02

Yeah, worth a try anyway.
