Getting hold of Workbench 1.3 on floppy
« on: April 22, 2004, 02:03:31 AM »
Hi,

I recently got an Amiga 500. I had a broken floppy drive and came with no disks. I managed to get a PC drive to work, and I was able to play Lotus II on it (had this floppy in my pc disk collection, from when I borrowed an Amiga years back)

Anyway, I need a copy of Workbench so I can get a pc <> Amiga transfer cable thing going so I can write some demos and games to disk. I can't find a copy of Workbench 1.3 ANYWHERE.

Is there any way at all to get a copy of this on floppy? I presume writing a 720k dos disk wont work to boot from in the Amiga?

Can anyone point me to a place to get Workbench 1.3 on disk?

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.

Hehe didn't see the PM function when I first looked.

I don't mind waiting at all.

No worries about the delay :)

I guess back in the day, whoever originally bought this Amiga would have got Workbench with it (so it was paid for) I guess he just lost the disks.
