I've been waiting anxiously for someone to do this.  Until I ordered OS4 that is...

I have had hard drive crashes where I have to boot from *no device* (yes you can do this) and try and recover.  DIR, and COPY, and maybe a few others are NECESSARY in the ROM!

Not to sell them independantly.  But, I see no reason why someone who owns a 3.9 CD and only uses a 3.9 ROM in the one machine running the installation from that 3.9 CD would be breaking the law.

The only reason to include LoadWB would be to show off to peecee users.  On 3.9 though it would not work.  You cannot LoadWB 3.9 without loading some libraries (I HATE that).  IIRC, even the HDToolBox from 3.9 won't run without some libraries loaded.

I don't believe you'd fit a usable Workbench disk on a kick ROM.  You'd have to pull a bunch of other strings like mounting it to make it useful.  Not practical on a kick ROM.  That's where booting to a flash ROM or some other solid state drive is ideal.  Even a ROM Workbench disk (full 3.9 install!) on a card would be GREAT.  But goal #1 of the 3.9 ROM for me would be eliminating the boot-reboot.  My A3000UX will not boot that way.  I actually have to power up all my hard drives and wait 5 mins or so before powering on the A3000 or it will either reboot-reboot-reboot forever, or I get a insert disk animation.  Either way, it's hell on the RAID array!
