Title: Workbench 3.0 should install be included?
Post by: Sutty100 on February 09, 2012, 06:45:32 PM

All in the title really! Purchased workbench 3.0 from ebay and got 5 disks, just thought I would check before I started moaning at the seller, that workbench 3.0 should always come with the install disk?

When I got my first A1200 I did not get an Install3.0 disk.
Only Amiga's with a factory installed hard drive get install disks.

Since workbench3.0 was only delivered with the 1200 as a five disk set.
and 1200HD had a 6 disk set version.

You had to buy the install disk after the fact.

Nope, back in the early days the Amiga vendors used to have to supply their own HD Install disks if you bought a hard drive from them because 3.0 didn't include one.  Pretty easy to track down an ADF though and write it back to a real Amiga disk.
