 Configure WinUAE to use the following options. Options not listed explicitly should be left at their defaults.

   * Chipset: Full ECS, Chipset Extra: A3000, Wait for Blitter, Collision Level: Sprintes and Sprites vs Playfield
   * ROM: "KS ROM v2.04 (A3000) rev 37.175 (512k)" or another appropriate A3000/A3000T ("ROM v3.1 (A3000) rev 40.68 (512k)" works, too)

 === Other settings you might want to try ===
-  * CPU: CPU Emulation Speed: "Approximate A500/A1200 or cycle-exact". Fastest possible will keep your CPU at 100% load, so this option might be a better choise.
+  * Chipset / External Display Hardware: A2024 (built-in support for 256-color X-Window) or Picasso II.
-  * Chipset / External Display Hardware: A2024.
   * Expansions: A2065: an Ethernet card supported by AMIX that can be used to connect AMIX to a real network under WinUAE. Windows users will also need to install WinPCAP if they wish to connect AMIX to a real network (note: WinPCAP does not and cannot work under WINE).

 Finally, you will be asked if you are using a high resolution monitor. If you are not using an A2041 board, at this point always answer NO to this and to the following "X windows for a color graphics card" question. If you're running 2.1 you will be prompted about Netnews... answer appropriately (probably no). At this point configuration of the system is completed and it will finish booting to a login prompt.

 **Congratulations**, you have now a working Amix setup! However, before you begin you'll probably want to [[patch-disk|install the 2.1 patch disk]].
