Getting hold of Workbench 1.3 on floppy

Thanks for the replies

Would anyone want to send me a copy of Workbench? I live in Ireland, and I guess I could Paypal over a few pounds/dollars for the cost of postage.

Pmail me your address and I'll copy it for you.
I'll even include some terminal proggy so you can transfer pc->amiga via null modem. Got tenfold of unused DS/DD disks here that I bought masses of when shops stopped stocking them.

So....what sort of terminal program with Zmodem should work on WB1.3? Could someone help me out here if borat wants the program?

Can I send my address to the MSN email address you have listed on your user profile?

Yep! Either that or use amiga.org's pmail function. Both of those methods would work.

Beware though, I live in Norway, so getting someone inside the UK to ship would be faster if you're impatient :-)

Got your pmail :-)

Ok, I have found the WB and extras disk now, I just have to find some terminal program that'll work on a WB1.3 machine. And then fire up my 4000T to copy the disks. (Shame on me, I haven't used it for a month...) I don't think I'll post it tomorrow, but over the weekend I think I'll have it ready.

Oops...sorry man, but this week has been busy...

I have found the disks, I just need to copy them now and put them in an envelope.
So I'll post them this weekend

So, How do you prove you should have a copy of Amiga OS? That is other than face to face showing the other person that you own an Amiga. I think that's the kink in the works.

Uhm...I'm sending him a copy of Workbench1.3 on OFS formatted floppy's...only way he could use them is in an Amiga.

I don't see the problem here, I would have if we talked DMS/ADF files.

Well...

1. Nobody sells WB1.3 anymore.
2. He can only use the disks in an Amiga, hence it should be legal.
3. If that annoys you, I'll make some auto-booting floppy with just the freeware programs he needs.
4. If that also annoys you, I'll send him my original WB1.3 disks.
5. Please....this is not piracy. Maybe not 110% legal, but...

@Borat!

I've finally done it  :-)

Copied WB1.3 and Extras 1.3, I also included a disk with various utilities such as diskmaster, xcopypro, protracker, bootx, saddam-killer, along with some others useful programs. Actually I compiled that disk 11 years ago

 :-o

And then I made you a bootable disk with NComm on it, so you can start up&downloading with your pecee at home.

I tried my best to check it with Kick1.3 and WB 1.3, but I couldn't get it to work satisfactory in my 4000T. I'm 99,9% sure it'll work fine in your A500.

I'll put it in the mailbox tomorrow. Cheers!
