Title: Workbench 3.2 Alpha & The Walker
Post by: mike- on May 15, 2010, 12:55:56 PM
Whatever happened to that workbench and rom?
It sounds like it could be made to run on a classic quite easily.
Has anybody ever bothered trying or had the chance to do so already?

My understanding is that the only actual differences are the drivers required to get the thing working at all.

So getting it to run on some other HW wouldn't actually give any real benefits over what we have already, except the obvious geek factor.

Likely, one way to figure out that would be to compare a version. But so far i havent found as much as a .info .

# Heinz Wrobel corrects Holger Kruse's earlier comments in regards to v42: "V42 was not used for stuff done by/for Amiga Technologies/Amiga International. V43 is the number." Holger's earlier comments read as follows: "V42 was used for a few modules of an internal WB 3.2 alpha version, consisting, among other things, of some new and updated shell commands ("list" with sort function, "owner" etc.), which were eventually distributed with Envoy. This happened in the first half of 1993, i.e. before Commodore died and long before AT took over. AT later continued to use the version number V42 for its own stuff though (setpatch etc.)."
