When I think back to early days of the Amiga, most software on floppies actually contained Workbench (or at least a cut-down version of it)


Workbench was/is in kickstart. The only thing that's absolutely needed to start Workbench from a floppy is C:loadwb + a very basic startup sequence to call it.

Come on Cloanto, can you do it and if not, why not?


My guess would be time/money. I don't know if you've read the interview in the latest Amiga Future, but they imply that their business development is in effect subsidizing their AmigaForever development, which wouldn't exactly surprise me.
