So I guess I bought a copy then - a bit expensive considering I paid $34.95 and it seems like it isn't authentic after all. Oh well live and learn.
Where did you get it from? IIRC, there were some dealers that had rights to create their own copies of the OS3.9 CD's and sell them, with a portion of each sale going back to Amiga Inc., but I could be wrong. I know that there was another thread about this a while ago, that I am sure of. I had two purchased OS3.9 CD's that looked completely different. One was purchased from Software Hut and I am not sure where I bought the other from, it might have come from a private party who had bought it from another dealer, I am not sure. So, you see you might have a legal copy that was just reproduced badly by one of the dealers that have a license to do so, which I think Software Hut has such a license, but my memory may be faulty.
One of my copies went bad, I think from a old CD-ROM that might have ruined it.
