Re: Op-Eddie: All Your Amigas are Belong to Us

So much FUD has been spread on this topic, it is getting very old and boring to read every day.  New Kickstart ROMs are still being sold by at least a few retailers and no matter if you like it or not, Colanto is selling a package that includes all versions of the floppy disk images, so you can "legally" re-create your non-working floppy disks that way.

All this complaining and moaning is not going to accomplish anything, until and unless someone actually wants to put up the money to fight it out in court and finally get it resolved one way or the other, and I doubt that is going to happen, so this is all a big waste of time and bandwidth.

OMG! Re-read it yourself.  It does not say that it can't be done, it says only "in some cases, probably not".  It also states that some ROM images won't work, but unless you are thinking of burning your own Kickstart ROMs, that is not an issue.  Making your own Workbench floppy disks should not be a problem, though I have not tried it myself yet, as I can still get my original floppy disks to do an install by switching disks when an error occurs from one set to another as the errors are in different locations on each set of faulty disks.

The EULA for AmigaForever probably forbids the making of Workbench floppy disks, if it mentions this topic at all, because that is the way the license was originally written, but since when has an EULA ever stopped anyone from doing anything.

Grow up and move on to something that is actually interesting to the Amiga community and that you can get some results from!  The chances of any of this being resolved are near zero, and if it is not resolved in court, nothing is going to change the way Amigas are used every day now.  Move on to something productive.
