ACA 620 Accelerator Rev 2 in WinUAE

[fpmpaolo]

Just a little bit of testing around. I have 2 laptops (ASUS Win8.1 64bit - Toshiba Win7 64 bit) and ONE card reader (paid 0.50 eurocents, almost 0.75$ in a chinese shop).
This morning I created an HDD in my SD with a Toshiba and everything went perfect (with all those diskpart - clean - virgin mary things.)
Now I'm home and you know what? My ASUS laptop-card reader doesn't load my SD after cleaning. I'm using a damned 0.50 cents chinese universal card reader.
And a bunch of blasphemy. It always helps.

And yes, praying SATAN gives always the best results

Well, everything seems working now.

I installed 3.1 Wb, then OS3.9, and all the BoingBags from 1 to 4.
Another question...since I only have ACA 620 Accelerator Revision 2, I can only install ClassicWB GAAE or ClassicWB 68K? I have no Indivision Boards.

I don't think you can install ClassicWB over a 3.9 install.

You need to install ClassicWB directly, if you want it (that means formatting ).

GAAE/68K run on a simple 68000 and are quite barebones - if you're using 3.9 right now you obviously can do a bit more than that

You can try CWB OS39 http://classicwb.abime.net/classicweb/os39.htm but you will need a display which supports Interlaced (most LCDs do).

If your monitor/TV doesn't do interlaced, then you can run CWB LITE http://classicwb.abime.net/classicweb/lite.htm which is 3.1 based.

Your hardware supports all the CWB versions out there except P96 and UAE, you just need to test them and see if they're fast enough for your likings!

It has to be said that most people prefer having at least a 030 for running 3.9 as the system will be snappier with that.

Read the ACATune Readme for other options available to your Card.

Where should I add this line? In the ASSIGN file?

I'm setting up my SD as a Hard Drive (following your video). I'm running OS 3.9 with classixWB
A600 boots slow: I think it seeks a FDD BEFORE booting my sd. How could I solve? I don't want to uninstall my floppy drive.

In the S:Startup-sequence. First line.

Thank you...and what about the slow FDD / HDD boot?

[fpmpaolo]

I mean...how do I tell A600 to load directly from the SD and not from the floppy drive?

[fpmpaolo]

I've tested my OS 3.9 configuration on my A600...runs slow, I think I'm gonna use ADVSP which runs better and less lags. I'm reformatting my SD card again because the real amiga doesn't recognize a 4gb partition. Since I would like to use it, what should I do? I need it because I've put all the WHDLOAD games in one drive (DH1: Games)
and the whole set with no AGA Games is 3.9 gb large

No, you're not solving anything by using names like that...

P.S. non so se gli altri non-italiani hanno capito il significato di quel nome

I'm quite sure non italian people can't understand that but...know what?
Some blasphemy won't solve any problem, but sure it helps to dig into the problem with another perspective

Another question. What resolution can I use on real Amiga? I have a 22" CRT tv
