Thierry,
1) Sad but true, Commodore deliberately left out the Hard Disk
Installation disk from the Workbench disk set for A1200s without hard
disk. I think by now you may buy this disk from them, though. Or you can
buy a third-party installation disk, there are a couple out there, only I
don't know who does them. (sorry!)
But this is really no excuse for them (C=) not shipping it in the first
place. 50 cents for a disk surely don't make the Amiga too expensive!!!
2) The are 2 or 3 tools out there (for example DEGRADER) which try to
emulate a lesser machine on a souped-up Amiga. If and to what extent they
actually manage to improve A500 compatibility on A1200 etc. I don't know.
