For what it is worth:
To the haters - this process has taken time.....

1) Franko has not just contacted the company's in the last couple of days, and had no reply but has been on going over a couple of months (as I understand it).

2) KS & WK 1.x - 3.1 are old, make no money for whoever owns it, and is required by most of us to run our retro systems. As previously stated other company's (Atari, Apple etc) have made them PD or simply don't care!

3) Amiga Forever is great! I've bought it, I have it, I can 'legally' state I own AmigaOS.

4) From 1980's - 1990's, I also bought AOS 1.3 / 2.x / 3.0 / 3.1 and still have the floppy discs, and many more that came with my systems - most are corrupt now. I LEGALLY bought the software, the MEDIA, the CONTENT, which is now unreadable. What company do I go back to, to get another copy???

5) Another reason for all of this is to challenge the Amiga OS IP holder! If they care (and part of us wishes they do) then the REAL owner of the AOS IP will have to standup and tell Franko off......and therefore we will know who they are........

6) Then we can try and once and for all get AOS into the public domain.....

7) If it was done correctly it could help our cause, for example, if Amiga Inc allowed OS 1.x - 3.1 to download on their website they could see how many people download it, therefore they could ascertain how much interest there was!

Now am I right, or am I right (for once!)

No he's not. He's already pulled this before and had to make a choice: a) remove the disk images off his site or b) pull the link to his site out of his signature and not talk about it on AO. He choose A. The situation isn't going to change. The only reason he's pulling this crap again is to troll the site. End of story. Why do people fall for this ?
What the does 'troll' mean anyway?

PS:Anybody got the original 1.3 disks, I've dug mine out but even after cleaning them they are full of errors and I can't make them into ADFs... :(

(been in a box for over 15 years, methinks their knackered...)
I have - I'll dig them out - tell me how to make them ADF's and I will, and host them if required

I'd rather be a self righteous asshole than Franko's gimp.

Come on! Leave it in the play ground! No one, is anyone's gimp! FFS!

Don't make me come and smack your heads together! You ain't told old to go over my knee young man!

I still think it is all a load of crap really. This is Workbench we are talking about! On aging floppies! (insert joke here) If my original's are gone then I need a replacement or my original C-Amiga hardware isn't as it should be, as I said before, Amiga-Inc let me pay you £5 / £10 / £20 for a Workbench disc set.....or make them PD or until then Franko it is!.....I wonder if these haters unlock their mobile phones???!!!!!
