As far as I have understood, Amiga Forever, AmiKit and AmigaSYS do not come with any version of AmigaOS but the only way of purchasing AmigaOS is to buy the CD. Is this correct?
I would like to purchase some version of AmigaOS that can be run on WinUAE, and I could buy the CD for this purpose. The OS will most likely be 3.9 provided that it is the newest version supported by the emulator. However, apologies for this complete newbie question but are PC CD-/DVD-/BD-ROMs even able to read the files on an AmigaOS CD?
I have nothing against purchasing the CD per se but I have chosen digital download options whenever I have been able to do so. That's why I wonder whether AmigaOS (e.g. version 3.9) could be purchased as a digital download anywhere. I mean legally, of course! I went through the Amiga webstores listed at
http://www.amigaos.net/content/4/where-buy and the more country-specific listing of resellers at
