• The Green Amiga Alien guide on how to set up a hard disk in WinUAE with Workbench 1.3, Workbench 2.x, Workbench 3.1 with all the enhancements/add-ons (Picasso96, MagicWB/New Icons, Scalos, whdload etc.).
• AmigaOS 3.9 on WinUAE I managed to get AmigaOS 3.9 installed on WinUAE, using the 'uaegfx' RTG card support and Picasso96 drivers. I'm using WinUAE and EUAE to get re-familiarized with AmigaOS while waiting on parts to come in so I can get this going on actual hardware.
• AmigaOS 3.5, 3.9 Around six years after AmigaOS 3.1 was released, following Commodore's demise, Haage & Partner were granted a license to update AmigaOS, which was released in 1999 as a software-only update for existing systems, that ran at least on a 68(EC)020 processor.

AmigaOS 3.9 install: Installing of the AmigaOS3.9 versions won't be so easy like under WinUAE, because the Linux uses another method to handle the attributes, so the Amiga Forever and AmigaOS 3.9 CD-s must be copied to the HD and then, validate the attributes.

AmigaOS3.9 needs Kickstart 3.1, 8 MB fast ram and a faster CPU (at least 030/50or 040/40 recommended).

Someprograms in the system are needs FPU support. If you don't have an FPU(co-processor), then the program won't run or it will drop an error message.The amount of these programs is low, only 3 are there of them.

You'llneed the original Commodore or Amiga ForeverWorkbench and Extras disks when installing.

I cannot find my expansioncard in the supported hardware list, what should i do?
At every CPU type thereis an option: Other Amiga 1200 card, Other Amiga 4000 card. If you cannotfind your card type in the list, then always use the Other Amiga.. option.Then the system will install the correct optimalisations, but not the card.

Will the system work properlyin this case?
The system will work properly,a lot of memory card/turbo card does not have a driver, so you stick itinto the computer and it won't require anything. If you have an installdisk for your expansion card and you don't find it in the list, then you'rerecommended to install it. These are recommended at the 68040/68060 cardsto reach the peak performance on your Amiga.

AmigaSYS 4 AGAinstalling with the help of WinUAE (HDF):

Putthe Amiga formatted HD into the PC.
Extractthe AmigaSYS4AGA.zip file to the WinUAE dir.
Startthe emulator and click once to the AmigaSYS configuration and load it.Go to the ROM section and add the Kickstart Rom file (3.x). Then save theconfiguration and start the emulation.

At install, the system displaysthe current CPU (wich was set in the emulator e.g.:68020), ignore this,e.g.: if you have a 68030 turbo card, select the 68030 CPU.

Startthe emulator, load the AmigaSYS configuration, at the HDD section, addyour harddisk (check the read/write option!). When you ready, start theemulation.

Systemwill boot up soon, when it is done:
Formatthe bootable partition on the Amiga harddisk, name it EMPTY. (System:System/Format)
Internet speed meter software for pc free download. Clickto FM3.0, it will start after a few moments, open EMPTY at the left sideand SYSTEM at the right side. Click INERT and COPY in the middle menu ofthe FM3.0. If everything good ..:

Fm3.0

Copying..

Whenthe copying finished, rename EMPTY to SYSTEM (DRIVES button on the middlemenu, select EMPTY click OPERATE, erase the name EMPTY and write in SYSTEM.)

QuitWinUAE, remove the Amiga HD from the PC.
Putit in the Amiga and enjoy.

Thanksto Cygnus for the description.

AmigaSYS 4 AGAinstalling on real Amiga (LHA):

I suggest this installationwhose want to install the AmigaSYS on a real Amiga without any hardwaremessing.

I only suggest the real Amiga(LHA) version installing to advanced users only whose are knows the systembetter and can do the instructions without problems. (That's why i do notexplain things like e.g.: extract the LHA file or put the AmigaSYS LHAon the machine)

I made a short manual toreview how to install the AmigaSYS AGA on a real Amiga.

What are the most importantsteps?
1. You'll need an empty,formatted, bootable partition. (if you have 1 partition and it is not empty,then read the tips part 2.)
2. Extract the AmigaSYSLHA file directly to the partition.
3. Rename the partitionto SYSTEM:
4. Restart the system andfollow the instruction of the installer.

Tips:

1. It is recommended to makea Workbench based boot disk, wich contains all programs wich can be easilyinstalled by AmigaSYS (WB 3.0 base, FileMaster+config, HDToolBox, Format,LHA).

2. If you have 1 partition,but you don't want to delete the old files and you have enough space toinstall AmigaSYS AGA, then do the following things:

- Make a dir named AmigaSYS4,and a dir named !OLDSYS.
- Extract the AmigaSYS4LHA file to the AmigaSYS4 dir.
- Reboot and press bothmouse buttons. (Amiga Early Startup).
- Select Boot with No Startup-Sequenceoption.
- In AmigaDOS mode, typein: YOURDRIVENAME:AmigaSYS4/FM3.0 (YOURDRIVENAME e.g.: SDH0:, DH0:, QDH:,DH0.1: etc, i refer to DH0 in the manual)
- In Filemaster open thedir DH0:!OLDSYS at the left side, and DH0: at the right side, click INVERTon the middle panel. Ekkor a program mindent kijelöl a jobb oldalon.Deselect the dir !OLDSYS and press MOVE. The files will move to the !OLDSYSdirectory.
- If you're done, then youhave to repeat this, but you have to copy the content of !OLDSYS/AmigaSYS4/to DH0:
- Finally press DRIVES onthe middle panel and select the partition DH0:, click on OPERATE and renamethe partition to SYSTEM.
- If everything is ok, thenafter the next restart, the AmigaSYS 4 AGA installer will welcome you..

BOOTABLE PARTITION:

Amiga:

Putthe Install 3.0/3.1 disk into the DF0: drive and when the disk loaded,start HDTOOLBOX (INSTALL:HDTOOLS/HDTOOLBOX). Check, wich is the bootablepartition, format it and copy the AmigaSYS to there.

Youcan make partitions with the program. If you want to use another partitionfor the operatong of AmigaSYS then, you only have to uncheck the BOOTABLEoption, and check it on another partition. This is useful, when you wantto keep your current system.

Maprom:

Mapromfunction supported on all Blizzard card automatically!
Copythe Kickstart 3.1 ROM file to System:DEVS rename it to ROM3.1 and thatsit.
Ifthe maprom isn't enabled on your card, then it will not work.

AmigaSYS 4 AGAusage with WinUAE emulator (HDF):

Installing Amigaos 3.9 Winuae 1

Youcan use AmigaSYS AGA under an emulator like any real Amiga. For this, thereis the AmigaSYS WinUAE version, but if you prefer AGA then you can usethis version too, without any problem.

Atinstall, the system displays the current CPU (wich was set in the emulatore.g.:68020), ignore this, e.g.: if you have a 68030 turbo card, selectthe 68030 CPU.

Icannot find my expansion card in the supported hardware list, what shouldi do?
Atevery CPU type there is an option: Other Amiga 1200 card, Other Amiga 4000card. If you cannot find your card type in the list, then always use theOther Amiga.. option. Then the system will install the correct optimalisations,but not the card.

Willthe system work properly in this case?
Thesystem will work properly, a lot of memory card/turbo card does not havea driver, so you stick it into the computer and it won't require anything.If you have an install disk for your expansion card and you don't findit in the list, then you're recommended to install it. These are recommendedat the 68040/68060 cards to reach the peak performance on your Amiga.

Ifi mess up the settings at the install, what can i do, or how can i checkthem?
Inthe loaded system, at the right side, click the AmigaSYS 4 menu and selectthe AmigaSYS hardware menu; here you can check your CPU type, the installedsettings, the AmigaSYS version and you can change the hardware settings.If you installed the system with bad settings and later you modify it,it won't cause anything. The old settings will lose.

Iget a 'ASYS ERROR CODE + ???' error message when i check the AmigaSYS settings:
Youget this message, when the AmigaSYS doesn't works properly and the optimalisationsand extra settings are not installed. In the lowest row, the solution willbe displayed, follow it.
