Amiga OS3.9 Original?
« on: December 07, 2009, 08:23:29 PM »
I am getting back into the Amiga scene after a long absence and I am in the process of configuring my Amiga 4000.  I recently ordered OS3.9 and just today received it in the mail.  I was a bit surprised to see that it looks like a color photocopy label and cd cover.  I am wondering if this is how the OS is or if there is any way to tell if I received a legitimate copy?

Yeah it came in a jewel cd case and I don't think I need to question it as I got it from a reputable seller - I was just a bit surprised as it looks like a cheap copy.  The main thing is so long as the OS installs and works fine :)

I'm pretty sure it's a CD-R with a label stuck on.

So I guess I bought a copy then - a bit expensive considering I paid $34.95 and it seems like it isn't authentic after all.  Oh well live and learn.

Thats good to know.  I bought it from a place called software hut - they seem to be an authorized dealer here in the states so I am assuming it should be fine.  I was just a bit surprised at the CDR / photocopied cover, but since this is an old OS I shouldn't be fussy.

Well everything seemed to install perfectly so I am not too concerned anymore.  It does look like this was the newer pink version, however the color label looks more purple.  Anyway, I am just glad I finally have my 4000 up and running again :)
