Moving HD from A1200 to A600
i have an internal HD connected to my A1200 with OS3.0 installed, can i take this out and put it in my A600 boot into floppy workbench, format drive and then install OS2.0?
as anyone got a step by step guide of what to do PLEASE |
yep :)
open both miggies, lift out the HD (with the cable and caddy) put it into the 600, plug in the cable, close both miggies :) fairly simple... But why bother with OS2 I though A600's had OS3 roms? |
Uh no :rolleyes
|
I'd try and force it to run with OS3, lol
You never know... Edit: p.s. rather miffed at the mo. Moved two partitions with HDToolbox, just slid them along to fill a gap. I was not warned that this operation would destroy partitions. I was greeted with 2 NDOS disks on reboot. Thankfully it was all backed up on two zip disks a couple of days ago... |
well its only a 85hd, getting the A600 in next two days, does anyone know what ks version it WILL BE... and what wb should i get?

HOwever you will need quite some RAM. You are much better using OS2.1, it's fab |
@akira.. which edition should i use eg.. 38.35 or 38.56 and in TOSEC what does [m] mean and... hehe... should i use international disk set or standard boot set (with UK A600)
|
2.1 just the ticket
Having tested 2.04 / 2.05 & 2.1 on my 1meg { 2mb total seems small but it aint ! } A600 project its got to be 2.1 as all apps and disk games I tested ran smoothest { even the 4 disk misery SF2 ! } best of luck with the drive , my original was a factory fitted 60mb so I didn,t have to Hd Install { only damn disk I,m missing from three what i thought were complete sets } :) :)

i've never actually owned an A600, so forgive me if this is a stupid question, but how much ram comes in a bog-standard A600, and what memory do i need to boost it up...
in TOSEC i see two different versions of Workbench 2.1 38.35 (international) and 38.36 what is the version that would have been packed with an english A600? what does [m] mean at the end of the filename, is it multi-language? what is correct procedure for installing the HD in the A600 i.e. should i... take out HD from A1200, insert into A600 boot using Workbench (boot disk) format drive using the format in HD tools or whatever... ...wait... then reset machine and insert the install disk thanks for the answers to my stupid questions, i'm a workbench virgin... |
ram :1mb
ks version: dunno I've got 2 a600s and all I needed to know was that they were 2.x I wouldn't use 3.x with an a600 anyway. 2.x is just what you need on an a600 |

I've only ever seen a couple of 600's and they both had 3.1 roms in them, must have been user upgrades... |

Take it off your 1200, put it in the 600. Boot with the INSTALL DISK, and use the script in there. After all is done you reset and boot from teh HD. |
thanks for the info!!!
