I think MSDOS was more stable than Workbench. But Workbench was more stable than Windows2000

That's like comparing TOS to the Amiga Kickstart.
Both of those were very stable.  Both did nothing, but allowed other programs to do things.


AmigaOS was missing the essential "dir" command from ROM. When I think back when I was using an A500+, I remember always having to load the dir command from a disk with it when I wanted to see the contents of a disk.

If we had "dir" inside ROM, it would have been much better.

Who wrote that Wikipedia? That is just plain wrong....

I workbench.library still in my 1200s 3.1 ROM.

I do know that it is one library you can remove to make room for other stuff. I was experimenting with doing this with Remus.

Maybe that is something specific to the 4000.


only Amiga4000T have workbench.library outside because there isn't enough space.
