Well to be honest I would not like to see the "A" prefix on PPC hardware at all since "A" followed by a number feels like 68K Amiga machines to me.

Why have they decided to use the "A", what will it stand for?

Yes Kickstart 1.2 or 1.3. I bought my Amiga 500 for nostalgia. I used to have one in 90s.

I could consider an Amiga 1200 with a harddisk but I have got lazy and I do not want to go through all that hassle installing WHDLoad and games and tuning Workbench wallpapers.


We are many here who could give you a VHD/VHF of a fresh install of Workbench with the complete WHDLoad pack installed with games if you would want, then you just have to write it to a CF and you are set (takes a few mins only and it's easy) :)

Since me and my wife recently bought a new house we was lucky enough to find one with 1000/1000Mb/s optic fiber Connection recently installed so sharing files from my fileserver is a breeze so it would not be any problems for me to share such files to Amiga users :)

Edit: I Think much of the Amiga OS 3.x  confusion is because the box said Amiga OS 3.x but many people only still have/had the floppies that say Workbench, I myself bought Amiga OS 3.1 used without a box back in the day and the floppies have no "Amiga OS" text on them, here is a Picture of one revision floppy, I Think mine looked something like this (I don't have em still tho):

Yes, its true that one disc did indeed say "Workbench", but then the others said something else "Extras", "Locale" and so on.


I know, I just stated that it might be a reason why people Think it's named Workbench at v3.x because they havent seen/had the box and there is no text on the floppies what so ever that says Amiga OS so quite easy to missunderstand then also if you boot from the Workbench floppy takes you to the OS so as said easy to understand confusion since previous versions of the OS was named Workbench and now as Before there is a floppy named just that and it boots you to OS as before....

I see, I missunderstood your post then.
But you might very well be right.


No problems :) I have a tendency to formulate what I say a bit strange now and then when typing in English ^^
