Can I install OS 3.9 without a CD drive?

Yes and you can also boot OS 3.9 from the CF card if you wish.

IIRC, you just have to rename your CF card to AmigaOS3.9, AmigaOS 3.9 or Amiga OS3.9. It's 'one' of those, but I believe it's the first one. May also have to open a shell and type an assign too in order for the automatic installation to repeatedly call upon 3.9 during installation.

If all of the above fail for you, simply copy the necessary files from the CD to the CF card and then onto your Miggy.

Did you deal directly with Joe, get confirmation and all that good stuff? Or did you order from the online webstore? If you dealt directly with him, I'm sure he's waiting to get 'em in stock. Otherwise...    :-(

PM sent KatManDew.

Ahh... hang in there then. Like I said, I'm sure he's waiting to get them from his supplier. Might want to drop him a weekly line I guess to both remind and check the status.

I too have noticed that many of us are turning into lazy lima beans though.  LOL!  I could write a book on why I think this is, but the thing that strikes me odd is how far away we've gotten from being proactive. Seems many of us just became spoiled thanks to internet commerce and no longer have the ambition to properly "make the sale". Or follow though even. Not accusing anyone specifically here, but the patterns are obvious. Just look at most ePay ads these days. Nobody knows just what they are selling. Communication and the ads themselves are horribly written and there are seemingly unnecessary delays in shipping. It's frustrating dealing with anybody these days. Not just classic computer resellers.
