New Replacement Workbench 3.1 Disk Sets www.amigakit.com

[amigakit]

Our customers have regularly been asking for replacement Workbench floppy disk sets since their older disks have either become corrupted or worn out due to age.  About a year ago, we approached our friends at Cloanto to enquire about a possible solution.  As a result, we are pleased to announce the immediate availability of new Workbench 3.1 Floppy Disk Set


This new distribution comes with some minor enhancements and updates:

- Updated C/Version (Y2K patch)
- Addition of Libs/workbench.library (for A-4000T 3.1 ROMs and 3.X ROMs)
- Updated S/Startup-Sequence (for 3.X ROMs)
- Updated Installer 44.10 and FastFileSystem 45.9 (to support larger disks)
- Installer itself is now part of the system installation (inside the Utilities directory)

As you may notice these disk sets are also compatible with the Amiga 4000T (workbench.library on floppy) so there is no requirement any longer to have two distributions of Workbench 3.1 media.

Thank you to Cloanto for their support in this project

Lets face it, most of our Commodore Workbench disks are at least 20 years old now.  I keep mine still wrapped up and use backups to preserve them.  However we get a lot of telephone calls from customers with read/write errors struggling to boot their Workbench etc.

Yes.  Quite a bit off topic an 030 is going to stuggle.  My 060 finds it difficult.  I will develop a more primitive GadTools version later for 030s.

We approached Cloanto over a year ago with this project in direct response to listening to customer feedback on the matter.  We are grateful for Cloanto's help here by bringing Workbench 3.1 back into distribution.  Any genuine Amiga classic customer will be happy too at this news and that is what is important to us.

So it looks like our project idea with Cloanto will benefit other resellers too?

Hi Paulie85

You could buy the ACA 500 then add the 4GB CF with Workbench 3.1.  That should do what you need
