A500 gvp hd8+ install
Hello people,
Been messing around with my gvp hd8+ (it has the 8mb fast in it now) I've got hold of a copy of gvp hd8+ hard drive A500 install disk My Kickstart screen says 2.0 (God knows where my original workbench disks are, I still have version 1.3 disks for my other a500 but as you know they won't help me) Question is... Which exact version of workbench do I need to do the workbench install to hard disk? I made adf's into real disks (version 2.0 so I thought) last night and when I tried them it said only for A600 and stopped the install? Also can you recommend somewhere I can get the correct adf's which we know are what they say they are, I have a tosec set but mine only has games, demos and apps no workbench disks. I do have another hard drive coming which somebody is going to get that all pre-loaded for me, but I want to use this tiny little hard drive which came with it to mess around and learn how to do it myself. Or can I have any advice on how to do this, what disk to boot first? Do I boot from the gvp disk then do the install, or do I load workbench then use workbench install disk. Thanks in advance for any help. (Please don't cain me for trying to get hold of pirate material, I own 2 real amiga's and once upon a time has all the disks) Paul |

Since you have KS2.0x, install WB2.1.

my dear paulcan, I believe the board rules prohibits us to give links to download workbench images, no matter how many amigas you claim to own. But you may remedy yourself very easily by a quick google search. Would just like to let you know that you can search pages in different languages in google.

But surely you can find Classic Workbench Green Alien Amiga Edition, it is an ideal set-up for OCS/ECS machines like yours and very easy to set using WinUAE.
