This time, however, for the benefits of my readers I thought I’d write down the process in a blog post. This one actually had a hard drive, but who knows how long that will keep on working, so I though I’d replace it with a Compact Flash card as well. Now, recently I was generously given an Amiga 1200. I found a video by Nostalgia Nerd on Youtube, where he goes through the process of installing Classic Workbench and WHDLoad on a Compact Flash card, unfortunately this video is (currently) four years old, and also very… quick? With the help of the comments and some trial and error, I managed to get it working, though.

But eventually I though I should try to use WHDLoad, so that I could run more games directly from the hard drive. That worked fine, and I could install Workbench on the CF card, and use it.

It did not have a hard drive, but all Amiga 600 have an IDE port, and you can use a Compact Flash card with a CF-IDE adapter as a hard drive.
