  • 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.

    PHOENIX FIGHTERS Manual (1.5) What is Phoenix Fighters? System Requirements Installation Controls Game Modes Game Details Fighter Ships Weapons and Equipment Hints and Tips Credits Contact Bitwise Contact Alive Mediasoft (C)1999 Bitwise / Alive Mediasoft Ltd. WHAT IS PHOENIX FIGHTERS? Phoenix Fighters is a "gravity" game in the style of the classics like Gravity Force and Thrust. There have many games in this genre in the past and we have played them all - we feel that we have taken the best bits of them all and compiled them in one great game! You are one of the elite Phoenix Fighters pilots and are required to do all kinds of dangerous missions; Destroy enemies, make investigations, navigate narrow passes, prove your ship handling skills, carry reactors... You will receive rewards from completed missions which can used to buy new ships or update your old ones. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS An Amiga computer with minimum of 1MB RAM and KS1.3. PAL display mode. Supports hard disk and takes advantage of extra RAM and faster processors. INSTALLATION The installation of Phoenix Fighters is done using the standard installer utility. Double click the install icon on the CD/disk1 and follow the instructions. If dos.library v36 or greater is present there is no need of any assigns. For earlier ROM's an assign will be needed if the game is started from workbench icon or if it's started in a shell from a directory other than the directory containing the files (like "pf/phoenixfighters"). As assigns, both "PhoenixFighters:" and "PF:" will be searched.
