Classical Amiga WB 2.05

Paul · 10 June 2002, 17:19

I have now completed my Workbench 2.05 set up for an A600 HD with 2 MB of chip ram.

The contents on the Work Volume are:-

Directory Opus v4, Deluxe Paint iv, Megaworm, Megaball 4, Tetris, Digger, Hydrozone, Drip, Jelly Othello, Demon, JIV Image Viewer, TransWrite (Word Processor), TransSpell, Virus Executer.

The contents on the System Volume are:-

Magic Workbench, Ami Dock, Nick Prefs, ARQ, Star Click, Addmem, Boot Logo, Multidos, Octamed Player, Amiga Guide, TBar, Workbench Extender, Workbench 2.05, Most of the Latest Libraries and anything else that you can see that I may have missed off the list!

Aye, you stole my idea!

Just joking, but I;'ll be putting my competition next eh?

Mine's different, it runs in 8 colors, and uses icons made by me, no magicworkbench or stuff.

Paul · 10 June 2002, 19:56

I did mine mainly for backup reasons and to remind me how to set it up. Anyway good luck on your version, if you manage to install Magic menu without problems then please could you let me know what you did as I got this when I tried…

@Paul: Is MagicMenuPrefs installed correctly? This requires gtlayout.library to function.

Which version of MagicMenu do you have?

Paul · 10 June 2002, 20:22

2.30 7.8.2000

The only 68k version I could find as the newer version needs an 020.

Bloodwych · 10 June 2002, 22:55

WOW!

If I ever become a green alien and own an A600, that'll be the WB for me.

Is there a key combination for bypass the WB and boot with a clean configuration? (without the WB). WB eats a lot of memory and I want the 2 megs of Chip RAM for WHDLoad installs.

Ive got MagicMenu up and running

HOWEVER it's an old version... but functional enough! Ive been using that bastard for teh last 5 years without probs, and I love it

It doesnt need gtlayout or other pish!

Lemme find teh disk where I got it from and I'll chuck it you rway. It was in an Amiga User INternational Superdisk.

Thanks in advance if you find it. I need it as my right mouse button is not to good on my A600 for holding down.

I will have a look into this. Just need to make a 2nd startup-sequence without WB. For now try holding both buttions down during bootup.

Paul · 11 June 2002, 18:02

Here is an Extra mem add-on for my setup.

Unzip into the Work volume/folder to install.

How to activate...

Hold both mouse buttons during Bootup to open boot options.

Click DH1: or Work

N.B. delete .nfo to change back to a zip file

11 June 2002, 18:32

Yes!!

Many, many thanks.

Yes there is. I think there is a program that detects a mousepress and if it finds it, it returns a value. You can use this with script to jump to a different startup configuration.

My A600 setup has this option, but it's done by pressing Y and enter at teh question "Do you want to load Workbench?" :P I could try and modify it to use teh mouse program... now, I just need to find it... :P

That would be great!

Amiga1992 · 12 June 2002, 06:15

What is there? I have a headache just looking at so much text

The mouse utility? or something else?

Paul · 12 June 2002, 10:38

Get Mouse Input V4

ftp://de.aminet.net/pub/aminet/util/...MouseInput.lha

Paul · 12 June 2002, 11:40

Done

Attached is an ADF which installs Get Mouse Input and new startup scripts.

To install

1. insert ADF after wb has booted.

2. double click install

How to use...
Hold left or right mouse button to activate the mini boot script.

You can also try ftp://de.aminet.net/pub/aminet/util/boot/mouse.lha

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mouse allows you to execute different startup sequences depending on which
mouse buttons are held down. The program simply returns different codes in
the RC environment variable:

Button | RC
-------------
Left 5
Right 10
Both 20
None 0

By using "IF" statements in your startup-sequence, you can choose different
actions. For example, if I hold down my left-mouse button during boot-up,
a small menu appears allowing me to choose a small selection of programs.
If I hold nothing down, my normal startup-sequence is executed.

/--- Cut Here

Setpatch >NIL:

mouse

IF $RC=5
...open menu...
ENDIF

IF $RC=0
...normal startup...
ENDIF

/--- Cut Here

Similar to the program I was mentioning. Perhaps, it's the same program I meant! :P

Hey Paul, I uploaded MagicMenu to The Zone. LHA inside the ZIP. Hope it works!!

Paul · 13 June 2002, 09:55
