Regarding the naming of new A-eon systems

[bitman]

Yes, but you could possible be an AmigaOS or (Amiga OS) user. IIRC Version 3.0 was initially made by Commodore and an A500 equipped with accelerator and the right kickstart should be able to run 3.0

Yeah, my mistake. I am an Amiga user. So called real Amigan.

The MorphOS desktop and the music style....

http://www.morphos.de/intro

Ambient is the native graphical shell of MorphOS. As its name suggests, the metaphor of an abstract enviroment is used rather than a traditional desktop which is often specifically associated with business and work.

I dont want to run 3.0 because it is less compatible and there are no new features what could be considered useful.

So what is it you want?
OS 1.3?

[nicholas]

Hmmm. Me looks at documentation and disk boxes and sees:

Amiga OS 3.9
Amiga OS 3.5
Amiga OS version 3.1
Amiga OS version 3.0

No sign of this AmigaOS...

I'm away from home at the moment so I can't check the boxes but AFAIR the whole OS was referred to as Workbench until the first H&P release "Amiga OS 3.5".

Only OS4 has been named AmigaOS it seems and the court case was settled by both parties agreeing to Hyperion only being allowed to use the trademarks "AmigaOne" and "AmigaOS" not "Amiga" nor "Amiga OS" despite certain mouthpieces of Hyperion recently claiming otherwise.

IANAL YMMV.

[nicholas]

Seriously?

Yes seriously. You disagree?

Who cares about a missing whitespace in the name?
Really if it all boils down to that, then I guess that "haters will be haters" is true in this case.

[nicholas]

Who cares about a missing whitespace in the name?

The legal owner of the trademark "Amiga" for one, the judge in the Amiga Inc vs Hyperion trial for another.

3.1 seems to be the first version that officially was named Amiga[]OS

What would be great, and I'm not sure this is technically possible, is for Xena to be setup to provide all the functions of the OCS or AGA chipset on boot up and some technical solution to allow access to real 3.5" disks.

The above two things in conjunction with 68k emulation would make a nice compatibility solution IMO

For the record I think my Amiga 2000 says "A2000" on the front....will have to check one day as it's dead so up in the attic.

So what is it you want?
OS 1.3?

Yes Kickstart 1.2 or 1.3. I bought my Amiga 500 for nostalgia. I used to have one in 90s.

I could consider an Amiga 1200 with a harddisk but I have got lazy and I do not want to go through all that hassle installing WHDLoad and games and tuning Workbench wallpapers.

3.5 shipped in a box, versions before that either came in a bag or a white leaflet, with a seal.

I'm away from home at the moment so I can't check the boxes

3.5 shipped in a box, versions before that either came in a bag or a white leaflet, with a seal.

3.1 came in a box also (white cardboard, about 12" long, 5" wide, and 3" deep, containing manuals, disks, etc). I just don't have it anymore, and couldn't find a picture to link to.
From memory it certainly had "Amiga" in the newer typeface, but I think it may have just said Amiga v3.1 (with the v3.1 in a much smaller typeface).

Not that it matters at all in the scheme of things, it's just worth pointing out the distinction when people try to blur the distinct line between Amiga OS 3.x (developed for Amiga computers) and AmigaOS 4.x (developed for AmigaOne computers). :-)

@Nicholas

I'm pretty certain they also got the rights to "Amiga OS" - just not "Amiga" - which basically got kicked into the long grass wrt ever being used to name a computer running an Amiga-like operating system ever again.

[bitman]

Boxes seems to be here:

We are many here who could give you a VHD/VHF of a fresh install of Workbench with the complete WHDLoad pack installed with games if you would want, then you just have to write it to a CF and you are set (takes a few mins only and it's easy)

Since me and my wife recently bought a new house we was lucky enough to find one with 1000/1000Mb/s optic fiber Connection recently installed so sharing files from my fileserver is a breeze so it would not be any problems for me to share such files to Amiga users

Edit: I Think much of the Amiga OS 3.x  confusion is because the box said Amiga OS 3.x but many people only still have/had the floppies that say Workbench, I myself bought Amiga OS 3.1 used without a box back in the day and the floppies have no "Amiga OS" text on them, here is a Picture of one revision floppy, I Think mine looked something like this (I don't have em still tho):

[yssing]

Yes, its true that one disc did indeed say "Workbench", but then the others said something else "Extras", "Locale" and so on.
