Workbench Disk Sets... What Would Be The Best Way To Obtain Them...

[kolla]

I vaguely remember something about Cloanto only have license for use with emulator.
I have no idea from whom they've gotten their licenses for lately though, like for the 3.X stuff where they have an 3.9-ish kickstart file.

I can assure you that the Workbench disks and ROMs we sell are legitimate and genuine.  Our ROMs are Mask ROMs, not EEPROMs which we have paid significant costs to obtain this surplus stock:

Sure - but they are unmodified stock 3.1 kickstarts. What people really want today is to be able to distribute updated ROMs without facing legal whackaboo, both images and actual chips - at least that is what I would want.

BTW - What are these - EPROMs?


I ask since I also have some kickstarts that I have bought, that I suspect are really EPROMs, the stickers on them look even more glossy 3.1 if I remember correctly.

Rapidshare is just tedious anyways.

Or you could use buy Amiga Forever 2011 and not share.

Already got Amiga Forever, got it for free even, by Cloanto themselves. I'm just saying that Rapidshare and the like are tedious stuff.

Workbench for everyone! wheee

Actually, the thing on Amiga Forever that interests me the least is the software. What I really like is all the extra fluff, videos, interviews etc.

In 2006 Cloanto claim they got an extended license to be able to create the 3.X kickstart, which in all essence is a 3.9 kickstart. I'm curios on who it was that gave them license for this.

Although I wonder if Atari users have to deal with the BS surrounding their OS....

No, they went the AROS route a long time ago with MiNT to provide a free and open alternative OS. It went so well that Atari just as well dropped their own TOS and shipped their last systems with MiNT instead.
