I’m looking to get WHDLoad set up on my A1200 onto a 4GB CF card using the tutorial by fitzsteve. I have a set of workbench 2.0 (or 2.1) discs, but would like to use a more up to date version of the OS.
I’m not clear on a few points:
1. Is OS 3.1 the best version to use for WHDLoad?
2. To get hold of the physical disks do I need to find a user selling these, or are the disks freely available now?
3. OR, if I’m understanding the tutorial correctly it looks like I can boot the A1200 from my old workbench 2.0 disks, perform the partitioning of the CF card, and the only version I need of the OS3.1 discs reside on the PC for use in WinUAE (assuming I can use different OS versions like this). If this is the case, I have the same question, are these workbench disk images like ROMs where you need an official version, or are these passed around freely?
Thanks,
J
