 ===== Installing Amix =====
+As for any early 1990's operating system (especially Unix), installing Amix is not completely straight-forward. Here are some notes to help you through the process on either real hardware or in WinUAE/FS-UAE emulators on a PC.

+===== Requirements =====
 Required stuff (both emulator and on real hardware installation):

 *) The SCSI addresses are critical, they are hard-coded into the installation script.
-===== The WinUAE emulator =====
 The [[https://www.winuae.net|WinUAE Amiga emulator]] has supported running Amix since 2013 (version 2.7.0 onwards). Users of macOS and Linux can also run WinUAE with WINE (outside the scope of this article).

   * 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).

 Go to the configuration page and select 'Save as" to save your configuration. Each time you start WinUAE you may need to "Load" this configuration.
 You are ready to go - Start!

 ==== Common errors during installation ====
-WinUAE: **sort: fatal: line too long** during package installation: make sure that 'more compatible' is NOT selected in Hardware/Chipset, see [[http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=96314|here]].

+  * WinUAE: kernel panics: make sure 'More Compatible' is NOT selected (in CPU options)
+  * WinUAE: kernel panics: make sure MMU is ON / JIT is OFF
+===== FS-UAE =====
+FIXME Details coming later. Basically just duplicate the settings described above for WinUAE and add the tape drive configuration manually into the config file (as currently there are no GUI options to do this). See the example below (last line is the tape drive config pointing to a directory with the tape files). "hard_drive_0_type = rdb" seems to be required (as the installer won't detect any drives without it).
+Thanks to [[http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?p=1536063#post1536063|Warty on EAB forums]].
+Tips: set floppy speed to 200% and while installer is copying files, switch to warp mode (cmd+W) to save some time installing. While in warp mode, screen refresh might get corrupted, but it will clear once you deactivate warp mode.
