Title: Amiga Workbench disks? Anyone?
Post by: xlar54 on August 02, 2009, 10:02 AM
As stated earlier, I have an Amiga 1500, now an Amiga 2000 thanks to a A2091 SCSI hardcard, and a US power supply from Ebay.  But I cant create Workbench disks.  Is there any kind soul out there with an Amiga, that wouldnt mind creating a set of 2.04 WB disks for me? I have the 3.1 ROM.  PM me if you will.

     When I get back to my place in mid-August, I can dig up the floppy disks for you.  Your only cost would be for the postage.

               Still on the road,

     I'd almost forgotten about this.  Do you still need the Workbench disks?  I have some copies of 3.1 (but I see you want 2.04).

Actually, no - some kind soul sent me a set (we have a great community).  What did surprise me was putting in the 2091 and SCSI drive and with a little coaxing, I had no problem at all in getting WB installed on it.  Plug and play years before Microsoft ever came up with it.  Typical Amiga.

But Robert - whats in 3.1 that isnt in 2.04?  (I have no clue about Kickstart versions etc) Am I missing on something good there?

Better hard drive support, for one.

For a summary, go to this generalized Wikipedia article -
