Amiga OS

[Malakie]

I am trying to get my Amiga's working again after a long time away due to serving ...   I am in need of 3.1 or 3.5 or 3.9 install disks but I can't seem to find them available anymore, anywhere.

Where can we get the old Amiga OS versions?   I realize the new Amiga OS 4.x stuff is only for the new Amiga hardware and can only be had by buying it but there has to be a source for us to get the older OS's that Commodore released which are now abandonware being they went out of business.

Anyone help on this one?

Thanks for the replies..

But now I have another problem..   I REV 6 motherboard.   I changed the rom to a 3.1 version.   Now when I install any OS older than 2.04, workbench loads up fine from FLOPPY but oddly only loads a blank screen from HD?!?    Basically it loads to workbench but displays no icons and no menus....

In all the years, I have never seen this before.  Even copying the disks to the HD manually from the working floppy, no change.    This one is completely making no sense to me..  And why it would load fine from the floppy device but not the HD device?    But if I then revert back to 2.04 or older, everything is fine again...

At first I thought the rom I bought was bad... but then why would it work with floppy disks of the same OS version?

Any ideas on this one?

Actually, I think I figured out what is going on..  I ordered this from AmigaStore.eu and apparently this kickstart ROM they sent me only works for WB 2.04 or OLDER.   It won't even run WB 2.05 without showing the kickstart error now.


So now, I need to get them to answer my emails to get this resolved...  and so far they have been VERY hard to contact.
