Cloanto Paid money for the rights to distribute the old ROM's
so their is money to be made from the sale of 1.3 roms

Also correct me if I am wrong but didn't Amithlon get into trouble because of the IP infringement caused by putting part of the kickstart code into Amithlon


Here's a neat idea I know lots of dealers who tossed lot's but still hold stacks of old roms. I have a ton of old 1.2 and 1.3 ROM's also 2.0,2.1 and 3.0 ROM's for various Amiga systems. Get a dealer to give or sell you the stack of old  ROM chips. Now you should be able to legaly give people copies of the ROM images as long as each Disk image is is accompanied with a physical ROM chip.

Still might be illegal in some countries, please check with your local shiester.

uhh I own a ton of Amigas. but still brought a copy of Amiga forever. Mainly becuase I couldn't be bothered to stick the old Rom chips in my Amigas and pull the images off them.
