I think I remember a skinny box. Had to fit the Emergency disk in there.


This is incorrect unless it was some dealer specific thing. 3.9 shipped in cd rom jewel case with an insert NO floppy. You had to make your own.

I received the cd disc in a slim jewel case and a red emergency floppy... No instruction sheet with mine.


That is not the standard packaging. Like i said must be some dealer thing with you as almost all in the world were packaged the same way afaik.

Mine was from amigakit. There was no box, but it was heat sealed in a transparent plastic bag slightly larger than the jewel case. There was no jewel case insert and the cd was printed with one of those CDR inkjet printers or whatever they're called. This was probably 10 years ago though. Also the red emergency floppy had a black and white printed label on it.


Like i said it was an individual dealer thing. 3.5 was boxed 3.9 not.
