View Full Version : The Amiga
Hi there. I managed to crush my Workbench 2.04 disk, and now I need a new one and they are nowhere to be found. Does anyone know if it is possible to download the disk on a windows system, and write it to floppy using a special Windows->Amiga formatter and writer?

Atari > Amiga.
Hehe just like the old days. ;)
I wish I could help. :)
Yeah. So I'm looking for HELP, like helpful comments, or helpful advice, or helpful directions. :p
Can anyone do anything to HELP me, rather than ignore me?

It is possible to download it, but i won't provide any link because it would be illegal. :angel:
Oh ok. Then I guess that means I better stop asking *cough*mingerroo@yahoo.co.uk*cough*
And it isn't illegal for ME because I have the original disks, just in pieces. In much the same way that backing stuff up isn't illegal if you retain the original CD.

arnt pc disks compatible with amiga, just amiga formatted not compatible with pc's? So would be just a case of finding workbench somewhere *coffcoff google coffcoff*

You're making me want to fire up my AmigaOne and see if I can get anywhwere with it. It's been five months. Maybe they've got it working with V5-5500 PCI now...

Correct: pc disk are formatted 720k and amgia disks 880k.
OMG SWOS... THE fucking best football game ever bar none.
I so loved that game ^^
Using CrossDos an amiga is capable of reading a 720KB PC Floppy, but you'll never get it to work the other way without altering the crystal in the drive.
you'd probably be better off seeing if you can get hold of an old amiga with the WB3 Roms and Disks, or just the parts.
:D
SWOS > all
YEAH!!!! Man, I am gonna play this one once again soon. Best football game ever!!!
Best player in the game... Claudio Canniga, 1.6 million better than baggio, romario, stoichkov :)
God that game made me fail my leavign certificate exams :D
You run a PC, why bother with an Amiga? Just go to GoOgLe and search for Amiga in a box, get your PC to do some hard work :p
Anyone try the amiga emulator? I bought it- making a full emulator PC box to hook up to my HDTV.
The emulator (will post link later) even has a digitized floppy sound... exact sound of the amiga 500 floppy drive. VERY well done, works great.
Oh..

You can get this Amiga emulater CD at game (or was it somewhere else) that has all kinds of crazy shit on it, might find what you're looking for on there.
But otherwise, it'll all be freeware on the net somewhere (except the actual Workbench 2 data of course)
I've got two amiga emulator CDs with the emulator and a tonne of ROMs, but it just isn't the same as cracking out an ancient machine and getting it running, maintaining it, setting it up to communicate with a PC (tis possible).
:( I guess ebay is my only hope :(

Syndicate > all ^^
Oh yeah, and Cannon Fodder :D

... go to your brother kill him with a gun, leave him lying in his uniform, dying in the sun.... WAR der der da der der der
cf was the win.
I have an Amiga and still turning it on some times :)
I can provide you with the Workbench by mail
... go to your brother kill him with a gun, leave him lying in his uniform, dying in the sun.... WAR der der da der der der
cf was the win.
lmao totally forgot about the original cannon fodder, and ya the first syndicate was the win
PANG! and Dogs of war on ATARI.
Hunter was cool too, 3D ;)
hang on a second which amiga vet like me remembers gloom???
the rip of doom haahaa was cool as fuck if you couldnt afford a pc at the time :D

cf was the win.I have the .mod file to listen to of CF if anyone wants it :D
heheh, I used to own an amiga as a kid...Black Cauldron was like my fave game...it's only real bad point was that you had limited time to play the game, cuz first you'd get hungry, then you'd starve, then you'd die, and then your pig like runs away or something and gets captured by this dark warlord who needs the pig to control the universe or some shit like that there. O_o
(Edit: The storyline/plot was most likely diff, but it's been YEARS...years, since.)
At least its pixellated nature was aestethical.....
I have a shitload of amiga disks on me, even though my amiga went up and died somewhere around my age of 10...still have the old joystick I used to have for it tho..
A final word for my real amiga....Battle Chess & Defender of the Crown Amiga Editions ruled all.

the rip of doom haahaa was cool as fuck if you couldnt afford a pc at the time :D
Hahaha Gloom was teh win :D I had that for my A1200, really quite cool, if incredibly hard.
@Kenjuten lol :D PM me, I'd like to hear that tune again ;) And ya, Battlechess totally rocked.
@Ezza, yes, Syndicate was brilliant, insanely hard at times but great nonetheless. The expansion made it impossibly hard though. (Syndicate Wars on the PC was excellent too, again, incredibly difficult).
