Installing OS 3.9 on A1200 with no CD drive
Hi all,
Ive just recently purchased an Amiga 1200 & also a DCE TYPHOON MKII ACCELERATOR BOARD 68030@40MHZ PROCESSOR WITH 16MB RAM and was wondering Is it possible to intall os 3.9 without a cd drive? Could i bang the amiga harddrive in my pc and then install the os using winuae? Im kind of planning in advance as i havent recieved it yet. Cheers |

A really quick answer, sorry don't have the time...
Just copy all files from the cd to a not-so-deep directory and assign <disk name> to that directory. Then run the installer. |

Cant you install the system from winuae ? I just setup a new A1200, i partioned the pc harddrive in the amiga, transferred it to the pc, added it in winuae as main harddrive and installed the ready made Classic wb compilation (thx

Assign [name of cd] [path]
ie. [name of CD] may be os3.9 and [path] may be DH0:work/os39store/ |

Thanks ill try that as soon as it arrives,
Just another quick question do you have to install os3.9 using the emergency floppie? , Ive have succesfully installed os3.9 on winuae without the floppie and it seems to work ok. |
