The AS90 connects to the side of the Amiga SOO and comes with a disk containing all the software required for operation. The AS90 includes the following features: • 20 MB of disk slOrage. • Sockets for SI2KB, 1MB, or 2MB of fast random access memory (RAM) chips. • Direct Memory Access (DMA) for fastest possible operation. • ConneclOr for the use of Small Computer Standard Interface (SCS I) expansion devices. • Autoboot ROMS to allow you to boot your system from the hard drive, if you are using Kickstan~ 1.3. Note: To obtain the full potential of the AS90, you will want 10 have the Kickstan 1.3 ROM upgrade installed in your Amiga SOO. With the Kickstan 1.3 ROMs you will be able to automatically boO! your system from the AS90, providing faster access to all your files. You can determine whether your Amiga has Kickstan 1.2 or 1.3 by staning your system without a disk in the floppy drive. The screen will show a hand holding a Workbench disk, with the version number below it. If the version number is 1.2, your. Amiga is using Kickstart 1.2. Please see your Amiga dealer concerning the ROM upgrade. If the version number is 1.3, your Amiga already has Kickstan 1.3. This user's guide explains how to: • connect and set up the AS90. • connect external SCSI devices . • install RAM chips on the AS90 board. • use the HDToolbox software to set up and configure your hard disk. • use the reinstallation software (0 rebuild you r hard disk in the event of a catastrophic loss of data. Note that with the addition of the A590, your system will still operate nor­ mally using the floppy disk drive. Installing the A590 WARNING: Commodore will not be responsible for any injury or damage resulting from improper installation. Such improper installation will also void the warranties on the A590 and the Amiga 500. Read this manual before attempting to install the A590. Turn the computer off and unplug the power cord before proceeding. Installing the A590 with the power on could cause personal injury to yourself and damage to the equipment. Make sure that nothing is attached to the computer. Disconnect all peripherals and power cords, and put them aside. The A590 requires adequate ventilation. Do not block the openings in the A590 or place it in an enclosure or on a carpet. Most hard disk failures occur due to improper handling: never subject the A590 to electrical or physical shock. Unpack the A590 a nd make sure that you have all the required parts: • A590 hard disk drive. • ground clip. • power supply. • A590 setup disk • warranty card. Record the information li sted on the bottom of the A590 on the inside cover of this manual. Installation Procedure The following steps, required to install the A590, are explained in detail, heginning on the next page. I. Turn off and disconnect the A500. 2. Set the DIP sw it ches at the back of the A590. 3. Open the side panel of the Amiga 500. 4. Connect the ground cli p 10 the Amiga 500. 5. Connect the A590 to the Amiga 500. 6. Connect the power supply to the A590 and AC out let. J 1. Turn off and diseonnect the A500. Thrn off the ASOO, and unplug the power cable. Disconnect a ll peripherals and cables from the ASOO. 2. Setting the DIP switches. There are four DIP switches located at the back of the AS90. The swit ches are shipped in the off position. If you are using Kickstart 1.3 you will want to set DIP switch I to on. If you are using Ki ckstart 1. 2 you can connect the AS90 with the DIP switches in the current positions. Note: If your Workbenchm prompt requests Workbench 1.3, yo u are using Kickstart 1. 3. If it requests Workbench 1.2, you are using Kic kstart 1.2.

  • Dualbooting Amigaos 4 and Amigaos 3.5/3.9
    Dualbooting AmigaOS 4 and AmigaOS 3.5/3.9 By Christoph Gutjahr. Licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License This tutorial explains how to turn a classic Amiga into a dualboot system that lets you choose the desired operating system - AmigaOS 4 or AmigaOS 3.5/3.9 - at every cold start. A "cold start" happens when... 1. the computer has just been switched on 2. you press the key combination Control-Amiga-Amiga for more than ten seconds while running AmigaOS 3 3. you press Control-Alt-Alt (instead of Control-Amiga-Amiga) under AmigaOS 4 During a "warm reboot" (e.g. by shortly pressing Control-Amiga-Amiga), the operating system that is currently used will be booted again. Requirements This tutorial is only useful for people using AmigaOS 3.5 or 3.9 in addition to AmigaOS 4. If you're using an older version of OS 3, you can not use the scripts described below. The Amiga in question should have two boot partitions - one for AmigaOS 4 and one for AmigaOS 3.5/3.9, both should be below the famous 4 GB barrier. The OS 4 partition must have a higher boot priority. Two different solutions There are two different approaches for dualbooting: the first one described below will display a simple 'boot menu' at every cold boot, asking the user to select the OS he wants to boot. The other solution explained afterwards will always boot into AmigaOS 4, unless the user enters the "Early Startup Menu" and selects the OS 3 partition as the boot drive.

  • Amiga Pod Morphos-Em, Czyli E-UAE
    Amiga pod MorphOS-em, czyli E-UAE Filip "widelec" Maryjański (c) Polski Portal Amigowy (www.ppa.pl) Większość, jeśli nie każdy, z użytkowników MorphOS-a swoją przygodę z amigowaniem rozpoczął od Amigi &quot;klasycznej&quot;. Po uruchomieniu MorphOS-a i nacieszeniu się &quot;amigowym feelingiem&quot; oraz prędkością i jakością aplikacji działających natywnie, nadchodzi czas, żeby przetestować Trance, czyli emulator procesora 68k zawarty w systemie. Z Aminetu pobieramy i uruchamiamy kilka programów. Wszystkie pisane &quot;pod system&quot; działają tak, jak na &quot;klasyku&quot;, lecz z zawrotną dla nich prędkością. W pewnym momencie, spragnieni rozrywki, uruchamiamy jakąś amigową grę i... po paru sekundach mamy pierwszą &quot;zwieszkę&quot; nowego systemu. Co się stało? Gry bardzo często pisane były bez wykorzystania systemowych bibliotek, odwołując się bezpośrednio do układów specjalizowanych Amigi, których Trance niestety nie emuluje. Nie pozostaje nam nic, oprócz wciśnięcia przycisku &quot;reset&quot;, aby po kilku chwilach znów ujrzeć świeżo uruchomionego Ambienta. Zawsze możemy zapomnieć o kilku &quot;trefnych&quot; programach, a gry amigowe zastąpić innymi działającymi natywnie pod MorphOS-em. Cóż jednak zrobić, jeśli koniecznie chcemy uruchomić &quot;trefny&quot; program, a bez cotygodniowej partyjki w &quot;The Settlers&quot; czujemy się chorzy? Tutaj z pomocą przyjdzie nam emulator Amigi UAE, a dokładniej jego rozbudowana, multiplatformowa wersja nazwana E-UAE. E-UAE - z czym to się je? Przed rozpoczęciem zabawy w emulację musimy zaopatrzyć się w kilka rzeczy. Przede wszystkim potrzebujemy samego emulatora oraz pliku ze zgranym kickstartem Amigi. Ten ostatni uzyskamy przy pomocy naszego &quot;klasyka&quot; i załączonego do emulatora programu &quot;transrom&quot;. Dla wygodnych pozostaje prostsze rozwiązanie - zakupienie pakietu &quot;Amiga Forever&quot; firmy Cloanto.

    A history of the Amiga By Jeremy Reimer 1 part 1: Genesis 3 part 2: The birth of Amiga 13 part 3: The first prototype 19 part 4: Enter Commodore 27 part 5: Postlaunch blues 39 part 6: Stopping the bleeding 48 part 7: Game on! 60 Shadow of the 16-bit Beast 71 2 A history of the Amiga, part 1: Genesis By Jeremy Reimer Prologue: the last day April 24, 1994 The flag was flying at half-mast when Dave Haynie drove up to the headquarters of Commodore International for what would be the last time. Dave had worked for Commodore at its West Chester, Pennsylvania, headquarters for eleven years as a hardware engineer. His job was to work on advanced products, like the revolutionary AAA chipset that would have again made the Amiga computer the fastest and most powerful multimedia machine available. But AAA, like most of the projects underway at Commodore, had been canceled in a series of cost-cutting measures, the most recent of which had reduced the staff of over one thousand people at the factory to less than thirty. "Bringing your camera on the last day, eh Dave?" the receptionist asked in a resigned voice."Yeah, well, they can't yell at me for spreading secrets any more, can they?" he replied. Dave took his camera on a tour of the factory, his low voice echoing through the empty hallways. "I just thought about it this morning," he said, referring to his idea to film the last moments of the company for which he had given so much of his life.
