Amiga Workbench 3.1 Hdf

One way of booting harddrives on the Replay is by using hard disk files (HDF’s). The Amiga 500 (kickstart 1.3) had no native support for harddrives though, so we need to patch it in. We want to add IDE support to the kickstart, and this patch will, don’t let the SCSI part of the name confuse you. Amiga Workbench 3.1 Hdf. AMIGA 500 Emulation WinUAE Festplatten & Workbench Installation. The downloadable Floppy & Hard Disk Image Pack contains 16 floppy disk images (ADF files) and 2 hard disk images (HDF files), which make it possible to boot and set up any Classic Amiga model (including the Amiga 1000, 3000 and 4000T). WB 3.1 – Workbench.adf, wb31-workbench.adf. WB 3.1 – Locale.adf, wb31-locale.adf. Amiga 1000 Kickstart Disk v1.1 rev 31.34 NTSC.adfDownload Disk. Amiga 1000 Kickstart ROM v1.1 rev 31.34. These two drivers allow an Amiga floppy drive to read and write 720KB or 1.44MB MS-DOS disks, depending on the capacity of your Amiga disk drive. Amiga OS 3.1.4.1 Update. Amiga OS 3.1.4 was released in 2018 and in 2019 a small update (3.1.4.1) was released which fixed a number of minor bugs. This update can be found on the appropriately named ‘Update 3.1.4.1’ disk that we created back in Part 1.

IMPORTANT:

In order to use this Workbench, you MUST follow the install procedure provided.

You'll need a valid Workbench 3.0/3.1 ADF, without one the install will fail.

Vital and copyright files contained on the disk will be copied during the installation.

This is required because Workbench is still sold commercially.

The copyright holders can be found at: amigaforever.com

Required

  • Emulator to run the HDF provided (WinUAE is assumed)
  • 3.0/3.1 ROM
  • Workbench 3.0/3.1 ADF

Amiga Workbench 3.1 Hdfc Life

Example Configuration

Chip2MB
Fast0
Slow0
Z3-Fast16MB
ROM3.0/3.1
CPU68020 + FPU
SPEEDFastest Possible but maintain chipset timing
JIT8MB (Force Settings and Hard Flush boxes cleared)
Display800x600 (Windowed)
ChipsetAGA
MiscUAEscsi.device checked in order to allow CDROM access
SoundEnabled

A WinUAE config file is supplied including these settings. The informationabove is provided in case of config file incompatibility with new releases orother emulators. Note this is only a suggested set-up - feel free tomodify.

Real Amiga specifications can be found in theHardware section.

Instructions

  1. Place the 'ClassicWB.UAE' file into the WinUAE configurations directory.
  2. Start WinUAE and load the ClassicWB config. image
  3. Select a relevant ROM file in the ROMS tab. image
  4. Add the 'System.hdf' file to the Hard Drives tab using 'Add Hardfile' - make sure it's listed as being device DH0: image
  5. Save the configuration. image
  6. Boot and follow the on-screen instructions. image
  7. When asked to instert a Workbench 3 disk, hit F12, enter the Floppy Drives tab and select an ADF for DF0:

Keymaps, locale and regional settings

ClassicWB defaults to the Great Britain locale and keymap settings.Obviously this is no good if you live elsewhere and your time zone andkeyboard layout differs.

In order to change these settings, do the following:

  1. Move the required keymap from the 'Storage/Keymaps' to 'Devs/Keymaps' drawer
  2. Place the 'gb' keymap back into the 'Storage/Keymaps' drawer, or it will take up memory
  3. Reboot the Amiga and open up the 'Prefs/Input' requester
  4. Select your corresponding keymap and save the setting
  5. Open up the 'Prefs/Locale' requester and select your region, again saving the setting

Note that those with an American keyboard layout are able to simplyremove the 'gb' keymap, placing it back into the 'Storage/Keymaps' drawer, leaving the 'Devs/Keymaps' drawer empty. The required keymap is built into theROM as its default setting, so to finish just save the 'Prefs/Input' with'American' selected.

WHDLoad kickstarts for games and demos

WHDLoad is a tool that allows disk based games/demos to be installed and runfrom the hard drive, even if they were never designed to do so. It also fixesincompatibility problems between different kickstarts and Amiga models.

Just as with Workbench disks, kickstart images required for WHDLoad areunfortunately still sold commercially and therefore illegal to distribute.

In order to obtain the required images, refer to the instructionsprovided.READ HERE

Using a PC directory

I don't support copying this Workbench into a PC directory; you may encounterproblems with files. Feel free to do so if you wish. Seethe FAQ for details why.

IMPORTANT:

Included is a utility that prevents Amiga disk drives clicking. Apparently,there are a few rare third party drives that get louder when using suchutilities. These drives are usually from the A1000 days so I doubt you'llexperience problems. Just be aware if a drive continues to click a few secondsafter the Workbench has finished booting, disable 'Anticlick' in the settingsmenu.

If your Amiga hard drive is larger than 2GB, read the FAQ

Note

One advantage of the ClassicWB being on a HDF is you can use an emulator tocustomize it before transferring to a real Amiga.

Every version has been made as small as possible by removing redundant files.In order to reduce the install further however, you may wish to remove items(such as those found in the icons drawer) before transferring.

Method 1

Amiga Workbench 3.1 Hdfc Netbanking

WinUAE has the option ofmounting and preparing a real hard drive for use on an Amiga! This option isonly available in Win2k-XP. Win9x-ME unfortunately won't allow this feature.

Once mounted and formatted, the contents of the HDF can simply be copieddirectly over to the hard drive. Then it can be placed back into the Amiga readyfor use.

The WinUAE device name to use with HDtoolbox or similar utility is'uaehf.device'. If you've already partitioned the drive Amiga side, it should bevisible in the hard drives tab after using 'Add Harddrive'.

Read the WinUAE documentation for further details, or refer to theinternet.

Method 2 - a slower alternative to Method 1 or direct copying of files

Basics

  • The ClassicWB install ADF provided must first be written back to a real Amiga disk.
  • Install procedure works by unzipping the file 'DH0:System.zip'.
  • The first hard drive partition must be called DH0: for the install floppy to work. I suggest using HDtoolbox found on the Workbench Install disk to name partitions. This can be done without losing any data stored on those partitions.
  • Creating the 'System.zip' file is done in WinUAE (or other compatible emulator) and copied onto a real Amiga hard disk partition identifiable as device DH0:

Creating 'System.zip' in WinUAE

  1. Load the now installed ClassicWB config created above. image
  2. Add a PC directory to the Hard Drives tab. You can call this whatever you wish, however using 'PC' for either the device or volume name will produce a nice Workbench icon shown in the pictures. image
  3. Boot the ClassicWB and load 'Dopus' from the popup menu. image
  4. Select 'DH0' for one window and the 'PC' directory added in 1) for the second window. image
  5. Highlight all the ClassicWB files on 'DH0' and click the 'ZIP' button. image
  6. When asked to enter an archive name, type 'System'. image
  7. Hit return and wait for the archive to be finalized (may take a while). image
  8. Test the archive's integrity either in Dopus or Windows. image

Updating a Pre-installed Amiga Partition

  1. Copy the 'System.zip' file onto your first hard drive partition, device DH0:
  2. Write 'Real_Amiga_Install.ADF' back to a normal Amiga 3.5' disk. Details of how to achieve this can be found in the file transfer section.
  3. Boot your Workbench disk and manually delete all workbench related files on DH0:, except 'System.zip'.
  4. Boot from the install disk created in 2) and follow the on-screen instructions.

Amiga Workbench 3.1 Hdf Software

Installing from scratch

  1. Boot your Workbench install disk and use HDtoolbox to setup your hard drive, naming the first partition DH0:
  2. Boot the disk again and format DH0: , calling it whatever you wish.
  3. Copy the 'System.zip' file onto your first hard drive partition, device DH0:
  4. Write 'Real_Amiga_Install.ADF' back to a normal Amiga 3.5' disk. Details of how to achieve this can be found in the file transfer section.
  5. Boot from the install disk created in 4) and follow the on-screen instructions.
