Greetings,
Pulled all of my old Amigas out of storage and started to get them running again. There is a full set here, Several A500s, A2000 (HD as well), A2500, A3000, A4000, a single A1000 and the Unicorn A3000T .... My son and I started with an A3000. The first challenge was the floppy drives, this machine had two (Toshiba's) and we managed to get one working. Out of my huge collection of software, I have yet to find working copies of Workbench - in any capacity. Couple this problem with the fact that the two hard drives in this machine are also not working (SCSI 1 from motherboard) ... I found a working copy of Oh No More Lemmings -> used it to test the A3000 .... after kicking my son off of the A3000 (Lemmings Addict) ... I started to think ....
If I could get a BlueSCSI v2 with a 16 GB SD card configured a bootable partition loaded with Workbench ....This would simplify the entire testing process for all of the machines I have in my queue. Having a SD card with each of the various Workbench revisions - again makes the testing process a lot easier ...
Having the various Workbench on a SD card would also mean I could clone the card, buy another BlueSCSI ... and get another Amiga working. At least thats the theory - am I correct in that once working you can clone what was done?
I dont have experience with BlueSCSI ... and I am having problems finding working versions of Workbench .... Anyone have suggestions? Or can steer me to some sort of solution? Can you partition the SD to have a Bootable partition and several empty partitions? Those are just a few of many questions I have at the moment ...
