Amiga Forever 2011 Premium Edition Give Away for the Cheap Asses

[Darrin]

I realize this "cheap ass" is tongue and cheek and most likely related to the recent posts about linking to disk images, I thought I'd note that posting Amiga Forever as an alternative location to finding ADFs for real Amiga is 100% ILLEGAL!

It is interesting that they have pointed out that THEY have crippled the OS3.x installation so that it won't work on real Amigas.  However, were they forced by their license to do that, was it a deliberate choice by them so that it couldn't be used on real Amigas, or was it just a result of their "tinkering"?

Unless the license says otherwise, they is absolutely no reason why they can't have a hard drive environment that works on UAE and also happens to work on a real Amiga.  They may not be able to advertise it for use on a real Amiga, but as UAE happens to emulate one then it is hardly their fault that it works.

Was done on purpose of course, enforced on them.
What do you mean with OS3.x btw? 3.X?

You know it was forced on them or are you guessing?  Their old hard drive environments didn't have this problem.

I assume you don't own AmigaForever.  OS3.x/WB3.x is their pre-installed custom Workbench environment based on WB3.1, but tarted up to look like OS3.9 on steroids and with lots of added software.  They call it 3.x because it isn't 3.0, 3.1, 3.5 or 3.9.
