I've screwed up! Can someone help me with the first disk of Escom WB3.1?

[kidkoala]

I've managed to owerwrite the first of 6 disks of the Escom WB3.1..pm me please. It's important that it's the Escom version.

[kidkoala]

I mean the Workbench-disk (they are often numbered when distributed as files online, wich I don't like that's why I bought them, now I've screwed up and don't want to buy a whole new set when only one disk is overwritten).

The versionnumber is 370300-98 and I think it was sold from the year 1995. I don't know what amiga's they were meant for but probably the 4000, yes.

@the two last replies

I couldn't agree more!

That's what I thought and that's why I'm asking..I'm sure someone out there has a copy and can make a .adf?
I've bought 3.1, 3.9, lots of games and hardware (must be at least £600 worth of stuff) the last couple of years so I don't feel bad about asking

Thing is it seems like the escom-release and the others aren't fully compatible. Eg. my Escom wb boots up without having to change floppy's, the new one I got hold of today (an older one) had to use locale and install to boot up, and it also had some other visable differences.

I need it for my a600 :)by the way I will be getting a 630/40 next week in the mail ..is it no prob. to install 3.9 on it? is it any point considering the week graphics of ecs?

i will be installing debian on it anyway, for fun ofcourse, does anyone know if getting a boot-menu with amigaos and debian is difficult/impossible?

EDIT: My problem now motorollin, is that I can't get the installation for 3.1 to accept my hdd! since it's a type 7 "optical drive" the install can't recognise it or whatever is the problem. anyone?


great..looking forward to playing more with all those amigatoys!

especially looking forward to playing with the a600 and internet/networking, can someone with any experience in the field tell me a little about that? (using the accelerated a600 with whatever tcpip-related matters..)

[kidkoala]

I got the disk, thanks a lot anyway!

thank you, you two who first fixed me the disk

[kidkoala]

i don't have a really strong opinion in any direction on this matter, i've been pirating all my life, and buying games and software to.

but on my escom-disks it says "copyright from 1995-2000" or something, doesn't that mean copyright for my disks aren't copyrighted anymore cause escom doesn't own the rights?
does the copyright of my copies in theory belong to amiga inc. now?

i'm just curious

[kidkoala]

ok, but who would hypothetically sue me for it now?

who owns all the amiga-licences and rights now adays?

[kidkoala]

found, there you said it, cause i can't find them anymore, and i needed the escom-version, wich is a bit more rare.

@bobo68

i didn't have a previous installation, it was the first installation on a new cf-card (the previous hdd was thrown), that's why i needed a new copy of a missing install-disk.

[kidkoala]

in theory also, that means that if you have a set of original disks, and a set of backups. then your original copies oxides or something and the disks no longer works, you can't use your backups cause the originals are not working anymore?

just a thought..
