Ordering Amiga Forever 6.0

[Niding]

Im considering getting hold of Amiga Forever 6.0 CD edition from the www.amigaforever.com shopping site.
Any info about how their customer service is? How long does it take from ordering the product to actually reciving it?`
I live in Norway btw.

I know what's coming next.....

@Cyberus ;-)

@Niding: Amiga Forever 6 CD is in stock here- we are one of Cloanto's official distributors.  It takes about 4 days to get to you in Norway by Royal Mail International Signed For.  I've found Cloantos customer service to be good, the AF6 CD is certainly a polished product.

Thanks!

I just bought AmigaForever 6.0 off your site

So the clock is ticking!

Does this CD contain all the Includes i need for ASM coding?
If not, could you supply a link?

[Cyberus]

As an aside, I saw someone selling AF 6.0 on ebay for 4.99 GBP.
I emailed them and asked 'Is this the full version, including serial?'. To which they replied, 'Yes'.

DYOR, but I can't but think they're lying...

Hey thanks for buying from AmigaKit.com!  Its all packed up now and ready to ship tomorrow morning.

Looking through Cloanto's AF6 CD I cannot see the official Amiga Includes.  I think you have to buy the Amiga 3.9 SDK CD for those.

@Cyberus

At 4.99 I think I better renegotiate the costs prices with Cloanto ;-)

@amigakit

This guy selling on ebay has to be pirating right?
I mean, how else could he sell so cheaply?
Unless you're getting a huge markup (joke!).

I'll dig up an item number for you guys

edit: #8144924026, and there's another, just view seller's other items   

[amigakit]

Sounds like a pirate at that price or an individual that wants to sell his original in a mad giveaway deal!

If its a company, the official resellers are listed at http://www.amigaforever.com/shop/resellers/

I'll try the ebay item no and have a look at it.  Maybe worth letting Michael from Cloanto know.

[amigakit]

Just had a look at this item- it seems very dodgy - selling 8 items at 4.99 each?!?

No way can a reseller do that- it is just harming legit dealers.

@cyberus: thanks for bring it to my attention- Ive emailed Cloanto

Okie Dokie.

I got the OS 3.5 CD. What OS comes with AF6?

And can I use 3.9 and or 4.0? (i havent been paying attention to anything Amiga related for many years)

What CPU can WinUAE/AF6 emulate? 030/040/060?

[amigakit]

Amiga OS 1.3 and OS 3.9 comes with AF6

AF6 can emulate a 68040 and 68020+FPU at a very fast rate!  It can emulate OCS,ECS,AGA and you can use upto OS 3.9 but not OS 4.0 as it only exists for PPC machines.

Thanks!

I just recived Amiga Forever 6 in the mail and installed it without delay. DAMN what an improvement! Soundquality much better too now (had a scratchy sound before).
The window icon management is much better too, something thats worth all the money i spent in its own right.
The previous OS's was a "pain" in the ass windows-managmentwise when you had gotten used to the fairly friendly ....PC enviroment ...  :-o

Cool, very very cool!

 @amigakit:            Do you have any first hand knowledge on how to transfer a HDF to AF6.
If  they are downloaded in windows , i have no luck in transferring them into HardFile on the Amiga -side ... I have downloaded the file(s) and then opened them with WINRAR and then what ?? When I try to find them , they alway load into AF6 as HD3? which of course not correct....Any good advice. Also have tried to get Ibrowse to work in AF6 , but no luck .
