Workbench Disk Sets... What Would Be The Best Way To Obtain Them...

[LordSpunky]

The best way to get them is to buy Amiga Forever, the ultimate Amiga Virtual Machine. Cloanto has different prices to meet everyone's budget.

Amiga Forever is okay.......but come on....why so much product placement?
I just want new copies of Workbench, and it doesn't work fully on my Mac so it isn't ideal for everyone!

Simple my 1.3 disk are knackered...

I have asked if anyone still has the original 1.3 disks that I could use but so far everyone who's sent me ADFs have sent the ones from Cloantos Amiga Forever (which I already own) and I wouldn't want to upset Cloanto by putting their disks on my site..

How do you make ADF? I'll give it a go

[LordSpunky]

You make me laugh, some of you make me sick!

So anal you are about if it is legal or not!

Are you telling me you have never driven over the speed limit? Never downloaded a film, software or music? Never done drugs?
Your that honest? You have NEVER broken the law, any law? Even a little bit? Get a f£$king life! I speak also as a musician, download my music for free, doesn't worry me one bit, it saves me the cost of burning the CD's!

And come on Franko doesn't believe he has the legal right. If anything I would say he is calling the owner out!

Up the revolution! Fight for your right as a CLASSIC Amiga user!

I've also had a thought - I like the idea of NatAmi, so don't take this the wrong way - but how are NatAmi going to get along with software? It can run original OS, so are they going to release it with original OS and if not where do we get the copies?

[LordSpunky]

We have sourced quite a few NOS Workbench 3.1 packages to supply with the Natami.

Nice, a like your style!

To change the subject a little bit - is Natami gonna cost mega bucks, and when can we buy it?!!!!!! :laughing:

@ Piru - Clonato
Frank may want to stop hosting the Amiga OS ADF's.....but I may start.....in fact I think everyone who agrees with this and wants to keep the memory of the Amiga alive should join in.....which should be EVERYONE on this site seems it is an AMIGA forum!

If not.....go and buy yourself a Windows PC and be happy.......

Does this also mean that you will be leaving this site? I can't claim I'd miss you if you did.

*Coughs*  - Oh did I say that aloud?

[LordSpunky]

Have we learnt who owns anything? If Clonato have the license to release Workbench in AF and are so well loved by whoever owns Amiga OS, then it would be easier for them to release Amiga OS Floppies, and I mean floppies, for us classic users with broken discs that didnt make a backup or lost it! Clonato would be happy at making £5 / £10 an OS. We would be happy that we could buy a new copy! Simples!?

[LordSpunky]

The only good that came of this thread was the revelation that Cloanto, despite not being the copyright holders are the only party guilty of preventing this 20 odd year old software from being made easily and legally available to those who still wish to obtain it...

Maybe it isn't Cloanto's fault if they only hold the license for emulation.
But all maybe not lost, there maybe a solution to keep everyone happy.
Bare with, watch this space and we will see if anything happens.
