So much FUD has been spread on this topic, it is getting very old and boring to read every day.  New Kickstart ROMs are still being sold by at least a few retailers and no matter if you like it or not, Colanto is selling a package that includes all versions of the floppy disk images, so you can "legally" re-create your non-working floppy disks that way.

All this complaining and moaning is not going to accomplish anything, until and unless someone actually wants to put up the money to fight it out in court and finally get it resolved one way or the other, and I doubt that is going to happen, so this is all a big waste of time and bandwidth.


Love how everything everyone else has to say about a topic you don't like or agree with is always "a big waste of time and bandwidth" in your opinion but you can't help posting on these things that you consider to be "a big waste of time and bandwidth" still a hypocrite to the end I see... :)

OMG! Re-read it yourself. It does not say that it can't be done, it says only "in some cases, probably not". It also states that some ROM images won't work, but unless you are thinking of burning your own Kickstart ROMs, that is not an issue. Making your own Workbench floppy disks should not be a problem, though I have not tried it myself yet, as I can still get my original floppy disks to do an install by switching disks when an error occurs from one set to another as the errors are in different locations on each set of faulty disks.

The EULA for AmigaForever probably forbids the making of Workbench floppy disks, if it mentions this topic at all, because that is the way the license was originally written, but since when has an EULA ever stopped anyone from doing anything.

Grow up and move on to something that is actually interesting to the Amiga community and that you can get some results from! The chances of any of this being resolved are near zero, and if it is not resolved in court, nothing is going to change the way Amigas are used every day now. Move on to something productive.


See what I mean... ;)

Well considering the "other" thread on this topic has over 9000 views and over 350 replies in comparison to other threads I would say that this proves the Amiga Community has a great interest in this topic... :)

Always a grumpy old bugger aint you, no wonder you don't keep too well, lighten up a bit and smile once in while instead of complaining about things and people you don't like or like to have talked about and then you go on to talk about them anyway... :rolleyes:

PS: On the advice you like to give "Move on to something productive.", out of curiosity when was the last time you followed your own advice, can't seem to recall you posting anything productive lately... ;)
