![]() ![]() So, I need a way to backup all my software. Every disk has only a capacity of 880KB and is getting older. I also removed the metallic shielding on top of the mainboard and did some cleaning. Upgrading the Kickstart ROMs requires to open the Amiga and replace the old ROMs with the new ones. It is much like an enhancement, an updated extension to AmigaOS 3.1, without all those hardware requirement penalties typically associated with these kinds of packs. On top of the Workbench, I installed BetterWB. In 2019 update 1 came out, so in the end, I now have Workbench 3.1.4.1 running. So, I ordered this new version, including the Kickstart ROMs. In 2018 Workbench version 3.1.4 came out, what adds new capabilities, like lager hard disks (4GB+), and fixes bugs from the past. When upgrading the AmigaOS, you need also to update the Kickstart ROM (this is what the Amiga starts). By default, the Amiga 1200 comes with version 3.0. I also like to upgrade some hard- and software. Specialty the capacitors on the mainboard need replacement, they are a danger for the PCB and the life of the Amiga. At that time, this was a fast Amiga.Īfter all those years, my Amiga needs some care. ![]() I also added an FPU (Motorola 68882), a realtime clock, and an internal hard disk (120 megabytes), which is still working correctly in 2020 (wow). Twenty-eight years ago, I upgraded my Amiga 1200 with a faster processor ( Motorola 68030) and extra memory (4 megabytes). I think I need to show you some of my special programs before you start missing the 1200 and desert me.I learned all my basic computer and programming skills on Commodore computers, like the C64, Amiga 500, and 1200. Seems like I should get finishing my power users video/article. Workbench is where you go to start the programs/games you love. I nearly always have disk master running, a lot of the time the shell as well. But for the most part you shall need to put the Amiga's multitasking to use. Indeed, that's why there's an "empty" folder there, so you can duplicate it, rename it, and put it where you like. If you drag it somewhere else you'll only have the one. You didn't mention the duplicate thing in your question so I wanted to make sure you knew you could do that. As I want to create a certain "look" with whatever folder I keep an empty folder with my default folder icon and then "duplicate" it. If you want to create a new folder you can do as described with directory opus or disk master. Indeed, files can not be seen in Workbench 1.3 and below unless they have an icon or you use the shell to list them. ![]()
