Could anyone tell me how to boot 1.3 from my Amiga 3000? There is a partition on my hard drive called system1.3, but it doesn't show up as an icon. Also, is there any way currently that I can run 100% of Amiga software (like a 68000 board or something)? Thanks in advance John Walsh jwalsh@csd4.csd.uwm.edu

After few seconds you can choose between 2.x and 1.3. Press 1.3 and the 1.3 partition will be loaded ..... > Thanks in advance > John Walsh > jwalsh@csd4.csd.uwm.edu So long ..... -=> BOP <=- -------------------------------------------------------- UUCP: bop@dobag.in-berlin.de MNet Berlin: bop@temple.UUCP bop@Halut

Does anyone know what you have to do to the system to allow you to access the other kickstarts AFTER you've already loaded on version of the operating system in? I know there's a PD program out there to do it, and I've even seen some gurus lead to this condition, but I can't seem to corrupt things enough on my own.. -- +---------------------------------------+----------------------------+ | // Daryl S.

When you hit the power, hold down the mouse buttons. A menu will come up with an option to boot 2.0 or 1.3 off the hard drive or floppies. When in 1.3, you will not be able to use the System_2.x partition, so I suggest you either make a common partition or just duplicate you special c: programs. The partition should have about 2 megs free. -- David Tiberio SUNY Stony Brook 2-3481 AMIGA DDD-MEN Tomas Arce Any students from SUNY Oswego?

To boot 1.3: If you find a program which removes KickStart, use it and then hold down both mouse buttons before it starts booting. Otherwise turn your machine off (for at least n seconds, etc...) and then hold down both mouse buttons for a while when you turn it on. After a while, you get a "Kickstart Menu". Select Kickstart 1.3 - Hard Drive from this menu and your computer should boot under 1.3.. As to why you can't see the partition: This is what *I* would consider a bug in kickstart (no flames please) for the '3000. Each kick start knows which hard drive partition to boot off of (wb_1.3: or wb_2.x:, respectively) and knows to ignore the other. Now, there are probably a lot of people out there who would disagree, but I reccommend taking a hex editor and replacing, in kickstart 2, "wb_1.3" with "wb_1!3" and doing something similar for kickstart 1.3... Note that, if you disable the drive that *is* appropriate for a given kickstart, it will have to boot off a floppy. This may, on occasion, be something you want... And, if there's a 68000 board for the '3000, I'd *love* to see it. About a third of the pd or purchased programs I've found over time actually run on my computer. Sheesh! I think the '3000 was designed explicitly to test programmers. Every bad programming habit I've ever seen will crash a '3000. Note that this basically kills 90% of all expensive software. Especially old Electronic Arts, and lots of Psygnosis games. > Thanks in advance > > John Walsh > jwalsh@csd4.csd.uwm.edu --SeebS-- (Not to be confused with Linda Seebach) -- mndaily is the Minnesota Daily, and does not speak for the U of M.
