I assume you mean when a new system comes out?
I tried running it on 1.3 today, and I can't get a thing out of it… BTW, is there anyway to read back up a "thread", 'cause if this isn't a reply regarding ArcticFox, I'm gonna feel REALLY dumb!
Thanks for the warning…. I guess I'll go to 20 then… (And not a single meg more! 🙂
It seems as though, due to prices and the ability to upgrade to a full- blown 4000, that more people would have bought 030's… I know I would have…. then again, maybe that is why CDore cancelled them. Remember the good old days, when an Amiga would not only run…
I'll have to try using 1.3 to run it… being exceptionally narrow- minded about these things… I assumed that since it died under 1.2 that 1.3 was seriously out of the question…
Thanks… I'm sure you'll be seeing a lot more HELP ME screams when PC-Task and my 1200 get here…
#Upgrade Amiga 1000?
Message #128138
Does it only work with KS1.3, or will any disk-based KS work? This really is an awful low of a headache to go too for one d*mn game, but I tend to get attached to stupid trivial little things!
Great! It seems however that my upgrade is on hold. Hard to beleive that Cdore has cash flow problems when NO ONE seems to have any A1200's or 4000/030's in stock. Does anyone know of any truth to the rumor that the 4000/030 is no longer available? Half of the…
#A1200 Hard drive
Message #128060
Being H&G from any Commodore dealers, how can I go about getting hold of the Commodore HD Setup kit for the A1200? (Or even better, what files in the libraries will work to set up the drive? I've looked but can't seem to find what I'm looking for…) Thanks again!…
Yep, you are right about that! However, if the A1200 will allow you to load and map older KS to ram, the chances of compatibility do exist, although remote…. (I think I even have a copy of KS 1.0 around here someplace!)
How difficult will a 10 meg DOS partition be to establish? I don't know if you've been following my pursuit of PCTask info, I need an MS-DOS partition as well…. Thanks for the info!
Thanks Dean… that's the answer I was looking for…. although I will be at a bit of a speed loss running on an 020 based system. I ran Landmark last night on my 68000 just to get an idea of what I might be dealing with speed-wise and it didn't…
#Bare 1200 upgrades
Message #127918
If I buy an A1200 with no hard drive, how difficult is it going to be to add one? I assume all I need is a 2.5 inch lptop HD, IDE cable (standard cable, yes?), and the desire to void my warranty? By my brief estimates, I look to save…
Does the A1200 allow you to boot with the older kickstart disks as the A3000 (and maybe the 4000, not sure) does? I have them back to 1.1, and if ArcticFox won't run on an A1200, then I just won't upgrade! 🙂
Have you run any benchmarks with PC-Task to see how it stands up against real IBM CPU's? Also, what programs have you run successfully with PC-Task? Is there any specific system configs that PC-Task has a problem with? I REALLY want another Amiga…. but unless Quicken runs on it, I'll…
#PC-Task reviews?
Message #127835
Has anyone used Chris Hames' PC-TASK with any frequency? I want to update my old A1000 to an A1200, but the wife wants to be able to run Quicken which I would think PC-Task could handle (Quicken for DOS that is…) Does any one have an stories (good or bad)…
