The A500 is a bit faster due to the A1200 030 accelerator installed in the ACA500, but otherwise they are quite similar in specifications.Every time the system tried to output any sound the machine would completely lock up.
![]() Amiga 4.1 Software Patched RomAlso because I learned that Vampire 600500 does not support AmigaOS 3.1.4 without a further software patched rom.not willing to tackle that yet.First task was to replace it with a Amiga 500600 Kickstart 3.1.4 rom, supplied with my purchase of the AmigaOS 3.1.4 package from Alinea Computer - you can also buy the downloadable versions direct from Hyperion Entertainment with a softkick ROM.But I wanted to have the new features from power on without the need for the usual multiple resets to apply softkick roms every time. I added my Individual Computer A604N with 1MB Chip memory expansion, clock port for connecting the Subway USB Rapid Road USB, and the Indivision ECS. This renders the PCMCIA port useless for now, but I need the USB functionality over the PCMCIA functionality. Dedicated boot partitions are a thing of the past, even on legacy devices. Printer, hard disk and many other support tools have been fixed and upgraded. New commands support running Workbench programs from the Shell or upgrading ROM modules. One of the big features of AmigaOS 3.1.4 included in the kickstart rom is the support for 4GB partitions and drives. It then returned to the main HD Toolbox screen and I can see the new CF Card, ready to partition. But since they are not compatible with any other earlier AmigaOS version, I decided not to do this. I can now see the unformatted Workbench and Work partitions. I quick formatted them, and labelled them Workbench and Work, both using international FastFileSystem. In our case we need to do the initial installation, so I get on with that. I worked this out later thanks to the FAQ I referred to on Aminet above. Having downloaded it, I copied it to my Amiga 4000D, and installed TransADF from Aminet, so I can write the Amiga ADF file to a real floppy disk. The FAQ I mentioned earlier covers what you need to do there and what changes are needed to the startup-sequence. I did this to get the correct MagicWB colours and icons, as I hate the original icons with OS3.1 and indeed AmigaOS 3.1.4. A trip to Cash Converters again and 5 later I have a solution - a nice white Diamond view TFT. Seriously Why isnt the option to install them included in the installer. I did this so I could use some more options for icons across my Work partition. Nice to see it is there now and Magic WB no longer needs to be installed to make the icon colour palette available.
