Important notes

1. Roadshow
   Roadshow is bundled as DEMO and will popup a nagscreen after a couple of minutes. You are highly encouraged to buy the full version which is still developed and supported. If you decide to buy it, DO NOT RUN its installer, just copy included bsdsocket.library to LIBS:. If you decide NOT to buy it, you can use the bundled AmiTCP which is now the default TCP/IP stack, even if it does lack DHCP.
   

2. iBrowse
   iBrowse 3.0 is bundled as DEMO and will popup a nagscreen. You are also highly encouraged to buy the full version which is still developed and supported.
   

3. AmigaOS 3.1.4(.x) and 3.2(.x)
   As coffin is based on AmigaOS 3.9, it is not intended to be used with Hyperion's 3.1.4(.x) or 3.2(.x) kickstarts at all. Even if it does work to some extend, you will encounter crashes, incompatibilities and finally frustration. If you want to use Kickstart 3.1.4(.x) or 3.2(.x), you are advised to use their respective Workbench distributions.
   

4. WHDLoad
   Most old Amiga games were not coded for fast systems like AC68080 and PiStorm systems are. Even if WHDLoad tries to compensate that, you might still encounter some crashes or Emulator 1111 errors in WHDLoad. In such case, use the provided tool (accessible from WHDLoad menu in Workbench) to adjust slave tooltype.

Mobility

coffin has a feature known as "Mobility" which enables you to use same CF on different systems without having to reconfigure everything. You can now unplug your CF seamlessly from your current system and move it to another. Supported environments are currently V4, V2, PiStorm and WinUAE. This feature is ran once on the very first setup boot then disabled by default and you will have to reenable it later to move your CF to another system.

Maintenance Mode

coffin introduces a new functionality called Maintenance Mode. It's a lightweight bootable partition which allows user to do several maintenance tasks as :

• Backup your system partition

• Backup your personal settings

• Restore last previous backup

• Flash a core or kickstart

Maintenance Mode can be accessed through 3 ways :

1. In menu, under "Power > Reboot > Maintenance mode"

2. Through good old Early-Startup and booting from DH3

Note: booting to Maintenance Mode changes partitions boot priorities. Be sure to use offered "Exit maintenance mode" command to correctly exit this mode. Just resetting the Amiga will not reset them correctly.

Backup & Restore tool

coffin has a Backup&Restore tool that will backup all your personal settings and all files included in "DH1:Documents". This tool is useful when upgrading to a new coffin version without losing all your settings.
