Well I was super pleased on Friday as my “new” Mac Mini 1.5ghz turned up and I managed to get 3.13 installed relatively easily.

Considering my last Morphos machine was my Efika I got over 10 years ago I’m really impressed with what it can do. Particularly in regard to the internet and web browsing. Finally having an Amiga like machine I can use with modern tasks is so good.

Only issue I’ve run into so far is trying to install old Amiga software off CD’s. I’ve tried both Wipeout2097 and Wordsworth 6 and in both instances I can’t get the installer scripts to do anything, as they both cannot seem to see the actual volumes they need even though they both mount fine.

I have got Wileout2097 on my Efika so I must have managed to install it in the past but as it was over 10 years ago I cannot remember if there was anything special I had to do.

I can copy files off the CD’s fine and explore them fine but when the old Amiga installer runs it simply says it can’t find the installer script as if the CD isn’t there.

Am I doing something wrong or is there something potentially wrong with the drive in my MacMini?

Do I need to copy the CD’s off onto my hard drive and then run the installer from there?
