Yes that is a GREAT idea. Something like "the AmigaOS missing manual 4.1FE" That would be great I have talked to many people about this, but no one has the time or energy. If you want some help and or ideas PM me  goo thinking radzik!!!!

Good. This is just idea. But we can talk. :) Can you send PM with ideas and then we will think or talk.

I didn't notice that you had a 3.9 manual for sale until today.  Maybe that's a bit closer to what TJ requires and much easier to get hold of than old books.


All books are from Adam Zalepa. He is an author and publisher. The only book about emulation OS4 is from me, and Adam is a publisher.

Are these hardcopy books?

How many pages is the 3.9 manual?

What kinds of info are covered?

I don't think there's anything much in hardback beyond the First Steps book you had before, I noticed your Amibay sale when searching earlier.


Yes and I kick myself for selling them.  ;-(

Held onto a very long time and then moved them on when I felt it was the end of playing Amiga.

Reverse of timing and now back into and miss having that resource.

That reminds me:
Haage and Partner did a 3.9 book, but it's German only. I believe you can still get a PDF version from Alinea.

Slightly modified PDF versions of the 3.1 docs were included with 3.5 or 3.9.

A lot of this documentation is probably available on DLH's site.

I'd be interested in buying an Amiga 4.1 book also.
I'd suggest a Kickstarter funding site if your going to produce a book, otherwise consider digital version.

Hi Jeff, thank you.  

Are you in the USA?  Might not be too bad shipping media rate via USPS.

I am in California myself.

If the info during 2.x days will be of value, I may just take you up on the offer.

Yup, on the email list.  Just did not remember.  I am not at that system that gets those messages.

Odds are I will not be there but in spirit I will.

Me and the Oakland Raiders will be tied up during that time slot.

LOL

I hope to have my X5K in the next couple weeks.
