Kickstart & Workbench 27.5, and Metacomco's ABasiC
Hi,
[Edit: sorry, this post should have gone in req.Apps...] First of all: Metacomco's ABasiC came with the first Amiga 1000s. I have version 1.00, and a few years ago figured out how to patch it to work on Kickstart 2.0 and later (patch is on Aminet). Was a later version of ABasiC ever released? Also a few years ago, I posted the info below to a mailing list, but (as far as I can remember) never did manage to get hold of any of these disks. If anyone can help, that would be great! Kickstart 27.5 and early Amiga demos Many years ago, I received a catalogue disk from an American company called Chiron Conceptions Public Domain, who used to advertise in Amiga World magazine. Listed there were some very early Amiga demos, used for the Amiga launch in 1985. They require a pre-1.0 Kickstart, version 27.5, to work. I would really like to get hold of any of these demos and Kickstart 27.5. Below is the listing from the PD catalogue. VERSION 27.5 DEMO DISKS CC-001 --VERSION 27.5 KICKSTART Prerelease version of Amiga Kickstart. Needed for some disks. (NOTE: Will not work on the Amiga 500 or 2000). CC-002 --AMIGA SHOW STOPPER PAK Includes two of the demos shown at the Amiga debut at Lincoln Center: Eagle Demo Watch the eagle as it swoops over the digitized mountain range. Listen to it's screams as it glides across your screen! An endless loop demo. Ballet Stills A series of superb digitized graphic stills of a ballerina. (NOTE:Requires Version 27.5 Kickstart (CC-001) and thus will not run on the Amiga 500 or 2000). CC-003 --ISLAND GRAPHICS DEMO SET A two disk set of graphics pictures and animations demonstrating the Amiga. Very nicely done. (Requires external disk drive & Version 27.5 Kickstart-(CC-001) and thus will not run on the Amiga 500 or 2000). CC-004 --ELECTRONIC ARTS GRAPHICS DEMO A two disk set demonstrating Amiga's music, graphic, and voice abilities. Includes digitized voice, scenes from EA's Amiga software, music, and digitized photos.(NOTE: Requires 2 drives, 512K, and Version 27.5 KickStart (CC-001) and thus will not run on the Amiga 500 or 2000). Regards, -- Mark |

I cant help with the demo disks but you probably shouldn't be asking about the kickstart here as its against the forums rules to ask for kickstart files.
Hopefully someone has these demos as I too would like to see them. |

Regarding Kickstart 27.5... if that's not allowed to be posted here then okay. But I'd like to know if anyone has it. Hopefully if I ever get hold of the old demo disks that need it, I can patch them to at least work on Kickstart 1.2/1.3. -- M |
