That's my thoughts exactly. I owned several disks that booted into what appeared to be WB1.3, but how did the distributer know that you owned your own copy of WB1.3 and that your Amiga didn't come with WB1.2? If your machine did come with WB1.2 then should you be able to run the software?! :eek:
Now, I remember KS2.x ROMS being sold with WB2.x (I upgraded my A2000 that way), but if someone like Bloodwych makes a Classic Workbench 3.x distro then it is bloody obvious to everybody that the only people who are going to download and install it already have KS3.x ROMS and almost guaranteed to have the Workbench 3.x disks.
I understand that OS3.5 and OS3.9 are products made by a another company and are still being sold (new old stock?), but why the hell can't the files on WB3.0 or WB3.1 just be handed out for free?
Let's face it, we should be able to release our own Workbench 3.2 set of disks that allows people to install a modern Workbench onto a hard drive as simply as installing WB3.1.
Come on Darrin, you already know the reason. AInc claims to be to owner of OS3.1 and both AInc and Hyperion claim that only Hyperion is licensed to create derivatives of it (so no 3.2).
