WTB: OS 3.0 or 3.1
« on: January 24, 2013, 12:55:45 AM »
Okay, I'm drawing slowly close to getting my A500 with Bodega Bay restored, but I've run into a bit of a problem.  My 3.0 Install disk crapped out!

So, I'm looking for either a replacement/copy of the 3.0 Install disk or if someone has a full set of 3.1 they'd be willing to sell...

I'm located in Amarillo, TX.

Thanks,

Curtis

Are you looking for originals?  Or copies?


Honestly, I don't care as long as I can get it loaded up on my machine!

I figure if anybody's going to squawk about copyright on this, they really need to find a life!

Surprisingly enough, I found an auction of fleabay for 3.1 AND ROM.  So will wait to see how this turns out.

Actually, I was wondering about that.

Wonder why ebay still allows them?  Oh wait, murky waters on who owns what parts of the Amiga corporate corpse...

FWIW most of the 3.1 roms on ebay are pirate. The labels give it away.
 
The upgrades were only available in a boxed set which included manuals.
 
Spare parts for the A1200/A4000/A4000T turned up because Amiga Technologies needed them for manufacturing.
But those will be silk screened mask roms.

Yeah, first places I looked were AmigaKit and Vesalia.  Obviously, no joy.

HOLY SMOKES!!!!!

That package I was bidding on at ebay went for over $100!

I dropped out at about $75.

Is it me, or is that a bit on the steep side?

Fortunately I've got another member burning me a ROM and copies of diskettes.
