Need AmigaOS 3.5 disk images

[mcostanza]

My AmigaOS 3.5 disks (disk #2) no longer can be read. Anywhere I can get disk images for AmigaOS 3.5? Before anyone get's defensive, I can provide pic of my current AmigaOS 3.5 disks/box.

I'm setting up a CF drive on my Amiga1200 and now I can't get disk two to read for the install.

Thanks in advance for the help.

This is probably a dumb question, but why not use 3.9?  I know some people have a preference for 3.5, but just thought I'd mention in case (like a few people) you've never heard of 3.9.

One quick correction. I have the OS 3.1 on disk. I do have OS 3.5 but it's on CDROM and no way to get that installed to the A1200.

I'm just looking to replace the disks that I already have. I guess I could go with AmigaOS 3.9 but that is distributed on CD Rom as well?

Yes, CD only. I believe there's some hacks various people have done to install it from USB drives. How about add an IDE CD drive to your A1200? Install via WinUAE? Just a couple thoughts.

Also I googled "amiga workbench adf" and the first link that came up had a download for Workbench 3.1 adf's. Shouldn't be too hard to find.

There are no "disk images" 3.5 and 3.9 are cd rom only. An alternative would be to mount the iso on workbench.

I once needed to install 3.9 without a CD-ROM. I ended up creating a custom boot disk with PCMCIA CF card support, copied 3.9 to the CF, assinging it on the boot floppy, and installing from there.  I'm sure that solution would also work with 3.5, if not, can't you install it via WinUAE then transfer the drive to your real Amiga?

One could also use UAE to install AOS on a PC, make an image, and then move it to the miggy.

Thanks for the info. I did find the AmigaOS 3.1 disks and got them downloaded to floppy and installed. The Amiga 1200 lives again.

How can anyone live without a CD/DVD drive on their Amiga? I had one on my A1200 (using a Squirrel and '030 accelerator w/64Mb) and I use a SCSI CD in my current A2000. BTW, I'm a 3.5OS user in the A2000 - and love it.
