Homepage Martin R. Elsner (Amiga) MRE uses features available since OS 3.5, for example glow icons, workbench-like program start, and of course Reaction, making the GUI nice and compatible. Opening a workbench drawer and starting programs in WB mode is done though the system function "OpenWorkbenchObject" which checks your workbench settings; so opening a drawer on a hidden volume won't work. But MRE is more than a startmenu: it's a collection of tools which make live easier and improve your Workbench! www.martin-elsner.de /text/ammre.html   (375 words)

AmigaOS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Amiga, Inc.'s distribution policies for AmigaOS 4.0 and any later versions requires that for third party hardware the OS must be bundled with it, with the sole exception of Amigas with Phase 5 PowerPC accelerator boards, for which the OS will be sold separately. Kickstart/Workbench 1.4 was a beta version of the upcoming 2.0 update and never released, but the Kickstart part was shipped in very small quantities with early Amiga 3000 computers, where it is often referred to as the "Superkickstart ROM". Each Kickstart version is tied to a particular version of the Amiga's operating system software, so users should only boot Workbench 2.0 on a machine with a 2.0 Kickstart ROM. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/AmigaOS   (375 words)

Unofficial AmigaOS 3.5 FAQ: Disk & File Operation Under OS 3.5, Workbench writes files in a different manner (different to OS 3.0, 3.1, or 3.9 Workbench) which leads to trouble if your hard drive controller doesn't correctly support reselection (which are mostly Phase 5 controllers). In the lower right corner is a section labeled "File System", below it a line that shows the filesystem in use on the selected partition. a v40.20 of the scsi.device on your system. www.gregdonner.org /os35faq/diskfileoperation.html   (2725 words)

AmigaOS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Until 3.5 release AmigaOS always came divided in two parts, Kickstart and the Workbench. Each Kickstart version is tied to a particular version of the Amiga's operating system software, so users should only boot Workbench 2.0 on a machine with a 2.0 Kickstart ROM. With third party software, it is possible to have a different Kickstart loaded in RAM and to use it instead of the ROM one - for example Kickstart 1.3 may be loaded in order to run old games incompatible with Kickstart 2.0 and higher. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/AmigaOS   (2725 words)

AmigaOS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Each Kickstart version is tied to a particular version of the Amiga's operating system software, so users should only boot Workbench 2.0 on a machine with a 2.0 Kickstart ROM. The Workbench environment is not required for the machine to function, therefore a lot of old games can boot directly from Kickstart, without loading it. With third party software, it is possible to have a different Kickstart loaded in RAM and to use it instead of the ROM one - for example Kickstart 1.3 may be loaded in order to run old games incompatible with Kickstart 2.0 and higher. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/AmigaOS   (3387 words)

AmigaOS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Kickstart/Workbench 1.4 was a beta version of the upcoming 2.0 update and never released, but the Kickstart part was shipped in very small quantities with early Amiga 3000 computers, where it is often referred to as the "Superkickstart ROM". Release 1.3 had few changes to Kickstart (mainly to enable autobooting hard disks) but had many more changes supplied with Workbench, including a much faster file system for hard disks, an improved CLI, and various extra programs. Version 1.2 shipped with AmigaBASIC, a BASIC implementation designed by Microsoft (this was the only software ever written by Microsoft for the Amiga). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/AmigaOS   (3387 words)

QuickROM.readme Short: Boosts Kickstart speed on 68040 or 68060 Author: simon@studio.woden.com (Simon N Goodwin) Version: 36.08 Type: util/sys Replaces: util/sys/QuickROM* Architecture: m68k-amigaos SUMMARY This free utility makes operating system code a lot faster by copying Kickstart - the built-in part of the Amiga's operating system - into fast memory. In response to this and other comments I've added a Workbench- friendly version (QuickROM_WB) which can be put into WBstartup or run at any time by clicking on the icon, and added installation instructions. It does this dynamically and can be activated or deactivated at any time. main.aminet.net /util/sys/QuickROM.readme   (363 words)

A600 - Enpsychlopedia The Amiga 600 was shipped with AmigaOS 2.0, consisting of Workbench 2.0 and a Kickstart ROM which was either version 37.299, 37.300 or 37.350 (Commodore's internal version numbers). Only later models of the Amiga 600 and especially the Amiga 600HD (which was bundeled with a hard drive) were equipped with Kickstart 37.300 or higher, which was able to integrate the IDE controller and the PCMCIA interface at boot time. The A600, also known as the Amiga 600, was the final of the original A500 -esque line. www.grohol.com /psypsych/wiki/A600   (363 words)

Workbench Nostalgia; history of the AmigaOS GUI: Release 1.3 According to the Amiga Developer CD 2.1, Workbench 1.3o6 (Workbench 1.3 Omega 6) called the Recoverable RAD: drive "CARD:" and it was apparently called "RD0:" in earlier betas. CARD: (Commodore Amiga Ram Drive), at least for a short while (when 1.3 was speculated about by magazines) seemed to have been the name for RAD: and the device was named "carddisk.device". AutoConfig was fixed (the autoconfig init code jsr had a wrong a6 register; the base register at the jsr time should be expansionbase but was execbase instead). www.gregdonner.org /workbench/wb_13.html   (467 words)

Workbench Nostalgia; history of the AmigaOS GUI: Release 1.2 Kickstart could now identify and use the correct frequencies/screen resolutions for either a PAL (50Hz) or NTSC (60 Hz)-based Amiga system (the internal clock changed accordingly), and Workbench adapted to the new higher resolutions. Most early Amiga's shipped with this release (Amiga 1000, 2000, 500). Rodney Hester notes that: "all releases prior to v33.59 have the plain white disk icons; the color disk icon was added in v33.61." www.gregdonner.org /workbench/wb_12.html   (773 words)

Workbench Nostalgia; history of the AmigaOS GUI: Release 2.0 Workbench 2.0 version 36.1, 36.68 was the first official release of the redesigned Workbench (a number of beta releases had already been out up to this point). Even 2.0 was arguably not a beta version, because at the time Commodore had a policy of distributing beta versions, and even gamma versions, only to registered developers. 2.0 and 3.0 both were official release versions, not beta versions. www.gregdonner.org /workbench/wb_20.html   (173 words)

Workbench Nostalgia; history of the AmigaOS GUI: Release 2.0 Workbench 2.0 version 36.1, 36.68 was the first official release of the redesigned Workbench (a number of beta releases had already been out up to this point). Workbench 2.0 required a (hardware) v1.4 ROM to get the A3000 booting before 2.0 could be softkicked. Rodney Hester notes that the A3000 tower ROM was actually 1.4 beta 3. www.gregdonner.org /workbench/wb_20.html   (173 words)

There were two versions of Kickstart 1.1; one for NTSC and one for PAL One of these programs was used by the original Amiga team to download code from the Sun workstations used in early development of the Amiga.". www.gregdonner.org /workbench/wb_11.html   (377 words)

AMIGA-Magazin Wie sich zeigen wird, lassen sich Aufgaben, die man auf dem Amiga typischerweise mit ARexx löst, auch mit Distributed BASIC lösen. Beim Start ohne Parameter wird die Funktion »tasten« aufgerufen (Zeile 22), die die Tastenkombinationen F1-F10, SHIFT F1-F10 und CTRL F1-F10 mit Hilfe von ARexx-Befehlen in der Workbench installiert. Es wurde mit AmigaOS 2.0 durch ARexx ersetzt. Mit der Anweisung »ADDRESS« adressieren Sie ganz wie in ARexx einen ARexx-Port. www.amiga-magazin.de /magazin/a12-03/basic/index.html   (1011 words)

Workbench Nostalgia; history of the AmigaOS GUI: CDTV Although CDTV units were supposedly Kickstart/Workbench 1.3 only (the majority of software written for the CDTV was programmed with only 1.3 in mind), some are capable of running WB 2.04+. However, Ben Vost notes that: "Although some CDTV's could be upgraded to Workbench 2.04 or higher, there were a lot sold in the UK that couldn't. Ronald van Dijk notes that: "the A570 may contain the same data in ROM [as the CDTV], but here it is stored in a single 16-bit wide ROM. www.gregdonner.org /workbench/wb_cdtv.html   (1011 words)

Workbench Nostalgia; history of the AmigaOS GUI: CD32 Thomas Kessler & Ross Vumbaca confirm that their CD32 units did not come with a Workbench CD-ROM; only with games and demo CD's. It was the only operating system version that ever shipped with the CD32, there were no further updates to it." He does note however, that this information was difficult to verify. Olaf Barthel notes: "as far as I know today, V40.60 was used in the CD32. www.gregdonner.org /workbench/wb_cd32.html   (1011 words)
