Agree on the price... but at least it can still be purchased/obtained easily enough... ;)
Q: Are silver CD's of OS3.9 still being "pressed" by H&P or somebody else? Or are retailers still selling NOS versions they purchased years ago?

And then there's the Update 2 OS3.9 disc... who distributes those and are they silver or burned on CD-R?

Franko, if you're not able to do 3.9, what about 3.5?

To be honest 3.9 & 3.5 distribution doesn't interest me at this point in time, Id rather just stick to 3.1 and lower and have them easily available on the net for old hands and newcomers alike... :)

I see. I was just curious as to who all would care about 3.5 anymore. I could see people downloading and giving it a try for a while, but seems most would ultimately want to move to 3.9.

1.x and 3.x have a lot more relevancy to 'em in getting old legacy machines (that didn't come with the disks as they're bought 2nd/3rd/4th hand these days) to do much of anything.

As an aside, I wonder if M$ would care about people downloading MSDOS, Win3.1, etc. anymore? Apple with their olden OS's. OR is it just the Amiga community that gets their undies in a bunch of this kind of thing?  :lol:

(Atari folks don't seem to give as much of a hoot A8 or ST wise either)
