With the facility I now have to use the emulator I decided I would use the back up and create a replica of the hard drive on the PC. I dunno whether it was specific to 2.04 but the emulator did not play ball when setting up the hard drives. It was easier with the 1.3 than 2.04 and a full ECS 2000. Anyhoo I did manage the task and include a few snapshots for your interest. One issue that I just cannot resolve is the Workbench window and workbench pattern prefs. I have copied all the necessary files to EnvArc ie wb.pat and win.pat but they refuse to fire up when I load the emulator. Instead I have to go into prefs and just hit the palette tool and like magic the whole workbench changes colours and style. Its incredible. I thought it may be the config file but it never works. I did read a post somewhere on issues with early versions of 2.04 not saving or allowing tests of the background so dunno. She works just fine and I now have a fully working version of Amy on the PC Win7 machine. I can even play the games. It really is wonderful being able to maintain these snapshots of the past. I know a lot would simply remove the previous owner's history, but for me it is as valuable as the computer. It is so useful and educational knowing what a real Amiga enthusiast was doing with the Amiga all those years ago. Amiga 2000 - Saving Amy follow up. The Real Thing The Emulator
