AFAIK the only one you can't buy easily is 1.4 (which is the beta to 2.04, only distributed internally to CBM and also with A3000UX).

Even then, it's probably not worth that much, as there doesn't seem to be any software that only runs on 1.4, but never runs on 2.

Sorry. Not much of a market for ROM chips / Kickstart files.

Rarest used version must be Version43/Kickstart 3.2 on the Walker =)
It is/was included in AmigaForever though, but on a real hardware it should be rather rare.

Probably, OS/9. Not to be confused with Mac OS9.
Versions existed for Amiga, Atari, X68000, Macs and lots of other m68k platforms.
But I never came across of the Amiga version.

OS4 Kickstart 53.23 on the made it to the Limebook Z9 but that's not actually usable so doesn't quite count.

Hyperion still have am IBM E-Lap with a usable (some might question that) version of OS4.0.

I think I looked into this a few years ago (having used OS-9 and NitrOS-9 on my Coco 3).  IIRC the rights to the Amiga version were held by a guy in Australia, don't remember if it was still for sale, but I seem to remember a $500 figure.  Can't be arsed to Google it, though.
