Thomas : You were right about 15 years ago. Now regular amiga user is about 45 years old male, most of us have a work etc. No problem to pay kickstart.

There are still those who whine about money because they are used to that, but still they have money.

Another thing is those who have found amiga again becuase of cheap gotek drives, they might thing that anything over 20%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!8364;/$ is too much. BUT they wouldn't have any use to 1mb official rom.

Those who like to have it are hardcore hobbyists whit all possible expansions. Money is not a problem. I spend some 500-1500%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!8364; per year to my hobby.

Reinstalling Amiga 1200/600 can be real pain, without a 1mb rom.

Any hard drive works, compared that needs to test about 5 diffrent IDE hard drives to found one wich actually works. My current hard drive didn't work at all with original kickstart 3.1.

There is a official kickstart 3.1 with newer scsi.device, but workbench library is left out. That could also be dead end with real amiga.

With 1mb rom any hard drive works to reinstall, I could start with it Deluxe Pain program floppy, need just text editor (ed) and shell.

Why does that correlate to the ROM size, and why does the Cloanto ROM not work? If you want to "install" an Amiga, this hardly depends on the ROM, or leave alone its size. It depends on the availability of the medium containing all necessary files. If workbench.library is on it - no problem.

So please don't try to find excuses if you want to be cheap.

If you quote me, please do it correctly / complete. Official rom with newer scsi.device is useless. Do not say what I think or what are my reasons, especially if you have just quote another people point just partially.

[edit] Dead end means that reinstalling requires floppy wich has a workbench.library. If there isn't one how to get one? Floppies are not trustworthy, it is importnt that installing OS doesn't have any special requirements. With my current kickstart, any flpppy wich boots to dos is OK to install OS3.9 or 3.5

Another point is, is even possible to have all filesystems in official rom? like FFS, SFS and PFS? Latter two are now free, but selling them might be impossible?
