Good Amiga Information Source

Unread post by 8bitsouls »

Hi,

Is anyone have a good documentation source about how to install WB and general configuration and understanding of Amiga? I had Amiga 500 and 1200 in the past but it's been many years and I forgot a lot :) With the Minimig, I want to reconnect with the Amiga and is exceptional friendly community. I don't know about UK but here in Canada the community was amazing.

Cheers

http://guide.abime.net/home3.htm -should give a start for WB 3.1.
Also I would recommend A1K forum (a1k.org). Great source of links/programs/guides/a friendly bunch in general. Mostly German, but I use Google translate and I'm ok with that and it's being my main source of links for a while.
As for software repo, of course, the Aminet.net is a great choice for most of the times:)
Also check out this forum area for some good guides/links for stuff like connecting Minimig to internet/shared drive/RTG support etc
For quick and nice how-to's about setting up Minimig/WB/Net connection etc, I would suggest allyourbasekris and Pezz82 Youtube videos.

Lastly, if you get online, there are still a few BBSes/IRC channels dedicated to Amiga, so double the fun like in the 90's. I'd suggest https://www.telnetbbsguide.com/ for that.

I'm sure there are other great sites/forums,YT channels etc, these sources are my favorites.

Have fun with Minimig :)

Wow, thank you very much for sharing. I have everything I need to start with. I can't believe there's still BBS around, I can wait to try it out.
One of the thing I can't remember is how to installed WB and running games or app on HD. I get use to do it all the time but i'ts been close to 30 years I didn't play with it. I still have my A500 and sold my A1200 long time ago. I will try for sure to read my old floppy disk Pro tracker sound I made a the time.

Thanks again.

Cheers :)

There's also a good English forum http://eab.abime.net/

On a1k.org you won't find much on emulators and MiST/MiSTer. Their main focus is on original hardware and open source expansions.
