WinUAE: Floppy HD

AMIGASYSTEM · 19 April 2018, 09:44

I noticed that starting from Kickstart 2.04 it is possible to boot from a Floppy HD while with the Kickstart 2.0 the floppy generates an error. Il Kickstart 2.0 he does not have problems if he uses the floppy HD as DF1. I think the problem is due to kickstart and not a WinUAE, i can confirm, thank you.

Works for me. Perhaps you have wrong hardware config ("DF0: ID Hardware" advanced chipset option not enabled). You can't simply replace DF0: with HD drive in A500 or A600 and expect it to work.

I'm sorry Toni maybe i explained myself wrong, i have created a Floppy HD bootable with the Workbench 2.1 and i tried to start it with the A500Plus Kick 2.04 and A600 Kick 2.5 (Quickstart setting) and it worked perfectly (see video attached). Instead the test did not go well when i tried the Kick 2.0 (what you see in the screenshot) maybe this Kickstart does not support HD floppy?

Ok Toni il Kickstat posted above was a Beta i tried to emulate A3000 with KickStart 2.0 v37.175 and the Floppy HD booted quietly.
