Hi,
Does anyone know if OS 3.5 still available for sale anywhere or is 3.9 the only(better?) option?
-
As I remember one of the nice things about 3.5 is it comes with a complete version of OS 3.1 on the CD also. I am pretty sure this was removed from 3.9. It might be nice to own them both. I'm not sure who still has them in stock though.
Good Luck,
-Jeff

OS 3.5 does have WB3.1 included. The only place I have seen it available is eBay.co.uk usually for about £5. so I guess it will be about the same down under. :-)
Some good info on OS3.5 and OS3.9 respectively:

"AmigaOS 3.9's hardware requirements are identical to that of Amiga OS 3.5. AmigaOS 3.9 is a software-only Update w/o ROMs (however, it requires Kickstart 3.1 ROMs to operate!)
AmigaOS 3.9 is the Update for OS 3.5 -- but it can also be installed directly on top of an OS 3.1 system."
Get 3.9 CD-ROM, make sure you have 3.1 install and away you go :)

I installed OS 3.9 with an emergency boot floppy disk directly to a new disk with no OS on it already. Do you really need to have 3.1 or 3.5 installed prior (or did my emergency floppy have some files on it to make this happen)?
