In this guide I’ll show you how to install a 2.5″ IDE laptop drive or CF Card into an Amiga 600 \/ 1200.<\/p>\n
You will need the following hardware:<\/p>\n
Amiga 600 or Amiga 1200! You will then need the following software The following would also be useful! Load WinUAE and setup WinUAE HDF as VHD0: PFS3 Installation Settings Before you try to partition the IDE or CF card, you will need to close WinUAE and load Windows diskpart from the command prompt. Select the correct disk number for your drive with the command:<\/p>\n You can lose data on your real hard drives if you do this wrong, so chack and double check that you select the correct drive! You can now type exit and load WinUAE as Administrator (Right click it’s icon and choose Run as administrator) HDToolbox (Located in the Tools Drawer) Format your partitions from CLI \/ Shell<\/p>\n You can also format within workbench by right clicking on the drives icon, give it a name and choose quick format. PFS3 will then load and format the drive for you.<\/p>\n Updated scsi.device Check if scsi.device & PFS3 is installed from shell<\/p>\n (version dh2: etc etc…..)<\/p>\n When copying ADF’s or backing up DH0: to PC – use A1200 config with 8MB Chip Memory and 64MB Z3 Fast WHDLoad NB: On several occasions I got lots of disk ID, disk block and disk ablock errors when copying several gB’s I tries so many things to eliminate this issue including:<\/p>\n Using an older version of Dopus from Aminet – (Substitute share:games with your source and DH1:Games with your destination) Using ClassicWB_Lite and copying from shell \/ CLI. All of the above made no difference! I found the solution after hours of searching posts and forums for any clues and help!<\/p>\n When using a compact flash device, set Max Transfer to 0x1A000 (Currently Work in progress!) In this guide I’ll show you how to install a 2.5″ IDE laptop drive or CF Card into an Amiga 600 \/ 1200. You will need the following hardware: Amiga 600 or Amiga 1200!

\nPC \/ laptop
\nUSB caddy to connect the 2.5″ hard drive to your PC
\nUSB card reader if you’re using a CF card <\/em>
\n2.5″ to 2.5″ IDE cable (If your Amiga already had a HDD then you already have this)
\n2.5″ IDe to CF adapter if your going to use a CF Card<\/em>
\nPhilips screwdriver to open the Amiga<\/p>\n
\nWinUAE emulator<\/a>
\nKickstart ROMs to work with WinUAE
\n(Either download Amiga TOSEC from your favourite torrent site, purchase from Amiga Forever or extract it from your own Amiga using TransROM)
\nClassic Workbench<\/a> Operating System (GAAE for A600 and CWBFull for A1200)
\nPFS3 AIO<\/a> for Amiga (File System that allows large HDD support)
\nPFSformat<\/a> for Amiga (Located in the tools folder of the archive)
\nWorkbench 3.0 Disk for A1200 or Workbench 2.1 Disk for A600
\n(Either download Amiga TOSEC from your favourite torrent site or purchase from Amiga Forever)<\/p>\n
\nWHDLoad<\/a> so that you can play games straight from the HDD
\nWHDLoad<\/a> games!
\nHDD Raw Copy<\/a> – Create 1:1 clone of your finished 2.5″ hard drive
\nWin32DiskImager<\/a> – Create 1:1 clone of your finished CF Card<\/p>\n
\nInstall CWB to your liking, you’ll be copying this exact install to your real Amiga.
\nOnce Classic Workbench is installed, right click on System Drawer Icon and rename it to vSystem then restart.
\n(This ensures that you don’t format the wrong drive or copy files to the wrong partition)<\/p>\n
\nCopy pfs3_aio-handler to L: on WinUAE hard drive
\nCopy pfsformat to C: on WinUAE hard drive<\/p>\n
\nType the following to show the drives installed in the PC<\/p>\nlist disk<\/pre>\n
select disk 2<\/pre>\n
\nNow, issue the following command:<\/p>\nclean<\/pre>\n
\nUnder WinUAE’s hard drive settings add a new hard drive, select your correct drive and then load \/ start the emulator.<\/p>\n
\nRight click on the icon and choose info, then click on the Tool Types tab.
\nChange SCSI_Device_Name=scsi.device to SCSI_Device_Name=uaehf.device and press ENTER
\n(If you put this drive in the real Amiga and use HDToolbox again, rename uaehf.device back to scsi.device)
\nChange drive type (Your drive will usually be ID2 if you’re doing this in WinAUE)
\nAdd \/ Update file system
\nNB: You must press enter \/ return to save the changes within HDToolbox
\nLocation L:pfs3_aio-handler
\nIdentifier PFS\/03 (0x50465303)
\nMask 0x7ffffffe (there are 6 F’s!)
\nMax Transfer 0x1FE00 (for IDE drives)
\nMax Transfer 0x1A000 (for Compact Flash)
\nBuffers, DH0: 70
\nBuffers DH1: 300
\nSave the changes to the drive and then exit HDToolbox
\nYou will then need to restart the Amiga from the Workbench menu for the partitions to show up.
\nThey will all show up as NDOS until you format them, this is normal!<\/p>\npfsformat device dh0: name \"System\" quick noicons fnsize=107<\/pre>\n
pfsformat device dh1: name \"Games\" quick noicons fnsize=107<\/pre>\n
pfsformat device dh2: name \"Programs\" quick noicons fnsize=107<\/pre>\n
\nA600 copy A600IDE.scsi.device from SYS:MyFiles\/LargeHD\/128gB_Support\/SCSI_43_24\/Patched\/ to C:Devs then rename it to just scsi.device
\nA1200 copy A1200IDE.scsi.device.43.43 from SYS:MyFiles\/LargeHD\/128gB_Support\/SCSI_43_35_v43_43\/ to C:Devs then rename it to just scsi.device
\nAny of the other later numbered scsi.devices also seem to wotk well too.<\/p>\nversion scsi.device<\/pre>\n
version dh0:<\/pre>\n
version dh1:<\/pre>\n
\nShare PC directory as PC: (This will allow quick access in dopus or from CLI)
\nFiles with names over 103 charachters will fail
\nFiles with long names won’t be accessible to copy \/ move on the A600 under dopus, but will work with TransADF to convert back to floppy)<\/p>\n
\nLocate WHDLoad-prefs under S: and un comment out the quitkey, change it to QUITKEY = $59
\nThis maps it to the F10 key and not the print screen key (Which the A600 doesn’t have!)
\nCopy the following to Devs:Kickstarts
\nkick34005.A500
\nkick34005.A500.PAT
\nkick34005.A500.RTB
\nkick40068.A1200

\nfrom a PC share to a compact flash drive.<\/p>\n
\nUsing copy command from shell
\nUsing dopus from CLI on bootup (hold right mouse)
\n– Try rebooting Amiga and holding right mouse button, works in WinUAE too.
\n– Choose CLI
\n– Type:<\/p>\ncopy share:games TO DH1:Games ALL<\/pre>\n
\n– (Pressing tab will auto fill the source and destination for you once you have typed the drive)<\/p>\n
\nUsing WB disks with CWB, not WB 3.1 disks
\nUsing different scsi.device other than my default choice of 43.35
\nUsing different compact flash USB card reader<\/p>\n
\nYou can also try the following Max Transfer should you run into problems while copying 0xFE00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
