Can the A1200 USB Port Boot?

If it can Boot, you have to install AROS on the Pendrive (SFS Filesystem), you just have to Copy the system, you can use WinUAE for that.

With an AROS 68k system you should have no problem booting it, AROS Vision I don't know if it's related to volume name or device name, talk to the developer of AROS Vision, he usually hangs out on this site Aros (Open a discussion):

OK but where's aforementioned instructions to be found?

I download most recent AROS Vision, also I have an adf image of the diskette.

And most of all, can I (how?) boot AROS from USB on my A1200 with WARP card?

On A1200 AROS 68k Native will run too slow almost unusable.

AROS Vision is lighter (AROS/OS3 mix), by default AROS Vision cannot be started with the Amiga KickStart, but you have to map the 2 AROS ROMs (KickStart), or merge the 2 ROMs to a 1MB ROM.

The 2 ROMs can be found on AROS Vision cpath:
SYS:\boot\amiga

If you want to boot AROS 68k or AROS Vision better do it from WinUAE, where it will be easier and especially faster

There is a way to boot AROS 68k from KickStart Amiga, but you have to follow the procedure used on amiga-m68k-boot-floppy, you can download the ADF file from this link !

https://sourceforge.net/projects/aros/files/nightly2/20250115/Binaries/AROS-20250115-amiga-m68k-boot-floppy.lha/download

Thanks for clarification!

So suppose I have a USB drive (8 GB), Amiga Kickstart (3.2.1.).  You say I can prepare an AROS floppy and boot AROS from the FDD on Amiga 1200?

Then, I will do it!

AROS - Vampire / Install attempts for Aros on 68k

Helo All!

I have a 060 (FPU) card in my Amiga 1200 and would want to install aros.  I took AROS Vision ISO, put on a harddrive, also I took AROS KS replacement and activated it.

I cannot enter early startup on Amiga.  And my AROS is a subsequent partition so I need to change it on boot.

Any simple solutions for that?  I'd appreciate it.

Improved Magellan configuration, same configuration as Dopus4, recreated all buttons and changed the icons to AROS One style!

For those who prefer Magellan, from the next version of AROS One, Magellan can not only be run from Wanderer, but can also be started autonomously.

In practice, there is no difference between the two modes; Magellan still makes use of Wanderer preferences even when started autonomously.

In practice, when Magellan displays a file in "Icon" mode, it will use Wanderer's settings, whereas if Magellan is used in "Detail" mode, it will use its own settings.

Example, if a Music, Graphic or Video etc file is clicked in "Icon" mode, the file will be executed by the default tool in Wanderer's Def_Icon

If on the other hand you click on the same File, but in "Detail" mode, then the tool set to Magellan will display the file.

Also in "Detail" on Magellan you will be able to see "All Archives" supported by AROS One, as if they were normal folders, just click on the archive file LHA, LZX, ZIP, RAR, 7Zip, bz2 etc... to turn it into a normal folder.

This function is also available on Dopus4, but only on the Amiga version, on the AROS x86 version it is unfortunately not available.

In addition, LHA and ZIP archives can be created on Magellan with a simple click

A few demonstration videos on what is described will follow.

On the next AROS One there will also be Dopus5 Magellan which like Dopus4 to use it just click on its Icon, path SYS:Tools

 Improved configurations of both Dopus4 and Dopus5 Magellan, both have the same configuration and both will be able to recognise any file even if it has no extension.

Dopus4 can now also display TXT and exe files, in the same way as Dopus4 OS3 version, thus solving the problem mentioned some time ago HERE

AROS One / Re: AROS One v2.7 x86 ABIv0 Released
« Last post by AMIGASYSTEM on December 13, 2024, 06:59:35 PM »





AROS One 2.7, a new version of the AROS x86 ABIv0 Distribution, in this release there are many new features,
Core updates and third-party software, in the list you can see in detail all the update.

AROS One 2.7 is undoubtedly the most stable version of AROS x86 ever released, a clean installation is recommended
(from scratch), as there have been many changes.

Those who have created their own configurations can make a backup, and if compatible copy them to the new AROS One.

Those who prefer to update AROS One 2.6, can do so via the update "Aros-One-Update-2.6-2.7" available on my website,
but beware it is more than 500MB, so in my opinion it is preferable to install AROS One 2.7 directly

From AROS One 2.7 (soon to be released) USB images will be created on 8GB Pendrives, by now AROS One with included 'Development' software has exceeded 3.7 GB space no longer supported by 4GB PenDrives.

On the positive side, the user can now add data to the pendrive, perhaps to test software or games.

New Theme created for AROS One name "ArosOne-BlueWave", see screenshot !
