Re: amiga 600, cf card etc?

hi,

parents have just moved house and they ve found the amiga 600 from the good old days

I was wondering, what would i need to be able to run swos from a memory card or something on the amiga? i ve seen these pc to amiga cables but i don t have a parallel port on my pc.

To run SWOS 96/97 from HDD, even non WHDLoad version, you need at least 4 MB of RAM.

damn that s expensive i was hoping it d be a £10 pcmia card or something

looks like i ll just have to pray the disks still work

As olesio said you need to have at least 4MB Ram to run swos from hardisk.

i used these:

www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Amiga-2-5-Hard-Disk-D..._VintageComputing_RL hash=item43a0472534

and of course a cf card.

Also your Amiga 600 rom must be at least 2.05 v37.300 so you can connect a hardrive.
Some Amiga 600 had rom 2.05 v37.299 and you could not install a hard drive. see here wiki.classicamiga.com/A600_Upgrade_Options#Kickstart

now thats my kinda price

i ll need to go and pick it up tomorrow so i can find out A if it still powers up B what version of kickstart it s got

where are the 4mb ram upgrades available? (amiga 600)

where are the 4mb ram upgrades available? (amiga 600)

This guy is known for creating Amiga hardware parts. kipper2k.com/amigaforsale/
You have to contact him for availability. The price for an Amiga 600 4MB upgrade is reasonable.

Another good option for upgrade is this amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=43 products_id=1102 .
Althought it is more expensive.

Also you can create physical amiga disks from adf files with transdisk. No ram upgrades need.
But you must have a hard drive to copy adf files into your Amiga 600.
You can find transdisk in Winuae
