amiga forever is the ONLY legal way to get all of the workbenchs/kickstarts (from 1.0 to 3.1 with some 3.9 features)

The Premium Edition of Amiga Forever contains more than five hours of video footage on two DVDs.

DVD 1:

    * Launch of Amiga (1985, 17')
    * Inside Commodore (1988, 40')
    * Jay Miner Speech (1989, 49')
    * Jay Miner Interview (1990, 9')
    * History of the Amiga (1992, 43')

DVD 2:

    * The Deathbed Vigil (1994, 118')
    * Dave Haynie Interview (2001, 55')
    * Amiga Faces Picture Gallery (1988-2005, 50')

and

    * Downloadable CD (ISO image) includes run from CD, boot from CD, cross-platform content, and installer for Windows
    * Includes Amiga Forever Game Pack I (more than 100 games)
    * Includes all features mentioned on this site
You can use the Plus Edition CD in different ways:

    * An installer allows you to easily set everything up on Windows
    * The Amiga emulation and OS also run from CD, either from Windows or booting from the CD itself (no operating system required)
    * Cross-platform components can be used on the most popular computing platforms (Mac OS, GNU/Linux, etc.)

The Plus Edition CD includes the following items which are not part of the Value Edition:

    * More than 300 MB of preinstalled games and demoscene productions
    * OS ROM file versions v. 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 2.04 and 2.05 (Workbench 2.1 uses the 2.0x ROMs)
    * OS disk images (ADF files) v. 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 and 2.1
    * Amiga 1000, A590 and A4091 boot ROMs
    * CDTV extended ROM (CDTV uses normal 1.3 boot ROM)
    * CD³² ROM and extended ROM
    * Amiga Forever Boot Floppy Disk
    * Ability to boot a PC from the Amiga Forever Plus Edition CD (El Torito specification)

Additional ROM and System Content

Would you like to see the evolution of the Amiga Workbench from version 1.0 up to 3.X (in different styles, too), through all intermediate versions ever released? With Amiga Forever Plus Edition you can. The ROM and operating system files include all publicly-released versions (except for those that were only meant to run only in combination with a specific piece of hardware which is not required in the hardware emulation, such as the A2024 monitor).

The CDTV and CD³² ROMs can be used to play CDTV and CD³² games, even booting directly from a game CD.
Personal Paint Included

The Amiga Forever Plus Edition CD, which contains an Amiga Rock Ridge file system to carefully preserve the original Amiga file system attributes, also replaced the Personal Paint 7.1 CD as the official up-to-date reference medium for Personal Paint, inclusive of tutorials and full documentation. This data, intended for use on "real" Amiga computers, is contained in the "Amiga" directory at the root of the CD.
