AmigaOS 3.5 acquisition

[Gilthanaz]

Hi all!

I've been googl'ing for a while now but can not find any source to buy AmigaOS 3.5 from, that is not out of business yet or at least has a functioning webshop :/

If anyone knows of a shop in preferably middle europe and could give me a hint, that'd be great.

I plan to set up a CF Disk for my A1200 w/ 68020 Card and 4MB Fastram, using UAE. Unless someone points out that this is a very bad idea

Thanks for the great links to ClassicWB Full - it really looks very nice on the page, I'll grab it and see if its running nice.

Now i only wonder if I can get Disks larger than 4GB to work on that, guess I will have to read up on SFS

Thanks

Right now I have a different problem: The 16GB CF-Card is only recognized as 4GB, but not on the Amiga or UAE, but directly in windows. So of course I can't create bigger partitions or anything if the first hardware layer already can't address the full "disk" ....

There I go for hours and hours of google abuse to find a solution I've tested with two different card readers now, one recently bought, one very old - both recognize 4GB of the 16GB CF Disk :/

@mfilos:
Indeed, I think you're right. I ordered 2 x 4GB CF-Cards, not knowing back then I might be able to use larger 'disks'. I received a CF labeled with "2GB" and another one labeled with "16GB", and after checking both again now on different machines with different card readers: Both are 4GB.

I guess that the guy who sells them probably gets them cheap bulk because they're labeled wrong or something like that.

After all, I think I'll give ClassicWB Full a shot now - I did a quick & dirty 'installation' in UAE and like the appearence and tools, and also that it appears to run quite fast on an A1200@68020 w/ 2MB Chip and 4MB extended RAM (Any way how I can find out if it is FastRAM or any of the other available RAM types for Amiga?).

Thanks again,
