Title: WANTED: OS 3.0 WB Disks for A1200
Post by: Corrie on January 09, 2011, 09:48:18 AM

Hi All,

I have an A1200 I wanted to sell. I don't have any Amiga disks anymore and wanted to re-format the HD ready for selling. Can anyone send me the disks for 3.0? Preferably in Australia. I will be happy to cover costs via PayPal.

Cheers
Corrie

Better off making backups from ADF's

I've got two sets of OS3.0 Disks, both have read errors where they've reached the end of their useful life.

I can send you ADF's if you need them, just PM me your email.

Steve.

Steve,

Thanks for the offer but this is the problem, I have no Amiga disks, I have sold all my Amiga stuff a while back. I have a couple of 1200s left with no disks, nothing. I just want to format their HDs and sell them off. That's why I need a copy of the WB 3.0 disks.

Can anyone help? I just want to format the drives ready for selling off.

I'd happily make you a WB install floppy to format the drives and post it, but from UK to OZ take 2-3 weeks, if you want its no problem just pay P&P.

Other option is to hook them up to the PC and use WinUAE and WB ADF to do the work...

Or sell them without the HDD's

Steve.

I'm on the Gold Coast and would love to make those A1200s more useful. How much are you planning on selling them for? To be honest my intentions are to buy a few extra Amigas, service, clean and moderately expand them, set them up with my nice custom Workbench setup loaded with programs and games and resell them as a nice package deal. I think the way I'd set up an Amiga would guarantee whoever buys it will really enjoy using it and get more use out of it, perhaps even inspiring them to work creatively or develop new programs and games with their new Amiga. This is just something I'm passionate about, it's not something I'd want to make a profit from. Making new Amiga users is more important to me than making money.

Or if that sounds a little crazy I can send you a set of Workbench 3.0 or 3.1 disks if you tell me your address in a private message.

PM Sent. I was intending on selling them for $100 each.
