Its not about people thinking Franko will damage the Amiga ??? Its more about him not having the legal right to do so, no mater if you agree with it or not. Its not about him making the disks freely available, they already are , its about him being a pain as always


Take some Asprins (preferably about 200) and your pain will go away permanently... :)

Even less may be enough, its LD50 (rat) is 200mg/kg meaning 32 500mg tablets may kill you (80 kg) with 50% probability. So 200 might be overkill....


I know... but I just wanted to make sure it did the job and not have him complaining a week later that all he ended up with was some internal bleeding and a weeks stay in hospital... :)

Well no matter what anyone here has to say about trying to put me off doing this, it's too late as I have gone ahead and started, I have given enough chances for anyone that has a legitimate claim to have their say and not one peep have I had in response... :)

It cannot be said that no mods here on this site have not checked out this thread (they have as I have been keeping tabs on it) and so they had their chance to warn or advise me if it would be ok for me to do so as I asked in the first post and in other posts... maybe they just don't want to get involved but you can't say I didn't ask... :)

Anyway I'll be adding more stuff for download and shall just sit back, wait and see, if anyone with a legitimate claim steps forward and asks me to stop or threatens legal action which they shall have to prove first and then shall I decide whether I shall challenge it in  a court of law... :)

I sincerely hope someone does come forward as I would like to clear up for myself and the Amiga community once and for all, if indeed anyone still has the legal rights to the Workbench disk sets and so we will all know who is really responsible for hoarding them and generally not making them available to those who really want them and can put them to good use whether it be for free or at a price... :)

At the end of the day there isn't much they can do to me in legal terms that would actually bother me if they choose to go that route, money well they wont get a lot out of me, assets... ditto, jail time... wont be the first time and at my age I really couldn't care less... :)

So only time will tell now... watch this space... :)

No you haven't.

Erm... I have... :confused:

Link Removed upon request of SlvrDrgn

Thought it only fitting to kick off AmigaUK.com with something that is really Amiga only related... :)

CommodoreScotland.com will follow shortly as I need to do a lot of editing and shuffling things about first... :)

The files should reside on the same server that your website resides on (geocities by the looks of them, heh).

Otherwise, you are simply linking to the files in the same manner as a google search, which makes this whole thread pointless.


Firstly I haven't a scooby doo about what your saying "geocities" whasat !!!

All files on my my sites have to be downloaded from my account on mediafire as that's the only way it works with sitemaker... :)

The only space I have for storage on my sites is used by any gfx that I have to upload for use on my sites. So I don't see what your point is, I have uploaded them and almost 10,000 other files to mediafire (which my site members have been happily using for quite some time now with no complaints) and made them available to easily find and download... :)

So what is the pointless point your trying to make here... :confused:

The mediafire link does not work (at least it hasn't worked correctly for me).

Personally this is more like the "getting hit over the head" room for me.

Correction - Its only the install disk that won't download correctly.


Just checked... all files are downloading fine here... :)

It was the first 'DIY' style webhosting service around back in the nineties and 2000's.  Think Etsy, but more useless :lol:.  In other words, he was having a go at your web design :D

He's trying to say that you aren't actually HOSTING the files, you are simply POINTING at them.  It suggests you aren't really the 'offending' party, MediaFire is.


Me websites aren't designed I just cobble them together in a way that keeps me happy... :)

As I've said with the SiteMaker package it's the only way to make stuff available to download by using the various link thingies to link to other accounts I have (in this case Mediafire)... :)

At the end of the day, it's the only way I can do it on my sites and I'm the one who uploaded them for download so the only "offending party" is me but to be honest I'm not offended... :D

No, the install disk does not download. Again, all others, fine. Not install.


Sorry Iggy, just checked once again and all 3 of them are downloading fine here, must be something at your end... :)

Wow... 3.1 is flying out the door like hotcakes... :)

Amazing how popular this stuff is when it's available else where but folk claim nobody wants another place to download it from... :)

Must be the copyright mafia getting theirs before they complain and have it shut down for everyone else... ;)

Don't you mean all six (there six disks listed). And, again , no the install disk won't download. I've got the other five. How could it be "my end"?


Sorry Iggy but once again all versions of the install disk are downloading fine here. I've downloaded each of them 3 times myself since you mentioned it and they are downloading without any problems... :)

So I've no idea why you can't download them, perhaps one of the copyright mafia will be able to tell you where you can buy them instead... :)

Apologies Frank, can't say I like MediaFire (as it took me about 2 dozen attempts to get the install disk to download), but it has worked.
OK everybody. Whether you believe it or not, Franko has made them available AND they have been downloaded.
Report away everybody.


Yeah I wish I hadn't picked mediafire it's a bit slow and flakey at times but I don't fancy uploading nearly 10,000 files again to another site... :)

Think I'll report meself now just for the hell of it... :D
