Hi Folks,
Has anyone got a set of Workbench 3.1 ROMs they'd be willing to part with
for less than epay and internet vultures want for them? My A4000 needs them
so I can install OS3.9 and get instant accelerator action :)
Cheers!

Sorry... my newest version is 3.0. I haven't dropped the money and
taken the plunge to go to OS3.9. I don't have any accelerated Amigas,
nor fancy video cards.
What's the vulture price for ROMs? I'd consider upgrading the
A4000/040 (standard A3640 CPU card) and maybe one A3000 if it didn't
cost an arm and a leg for ROMs.

running.

Hmm, surprisingly lower than the last time I checked! The trend seems to be
around 50 bucks so I might pick some up when I'm in the US next month.

Software Hut in the US seems to have them for a very reasonable
price, only $42.96US.

Yep, it's been a while since I looked. I should've got the ROMs with the
OS3.5 kit I got from epay since the same seller was offloading a metric
buttload of CBM stuff including Commodore-branded LCD panels, but at the
time thought I'd not need WB3.1 :)

I have a late model 4000T (technically offtopic - built in '98) with I
*believe* 3.1 Roms in it - tearing it apart now...
=-= away from computer, leatherman in hand... =-=
Visually confirmed - I have 3.1 Roms in it, and they're socketed.
If you can tell me the chip and/or pinout, I can tell you if I have any
chips in stock to burn.
Now, I have a question:
I have the bog-standard A3640 Rev 3.1 CPU card (25Mhz 68040) in mine - will
this card support a 33Mhz CPU if I swap the 50Mhz oscillator with a 66Mhz?
Thanks!

Does anybody own the right to those Amiga ROMs anymore and actively sell
them (not talking about a shop with old stocks from when Commodore was still
around)?
7:04 p.m.
Actually, Amiga, inc. is still in posession of those rights. The ROMs sold
in places like software hut are licensed from Amiga, not old Commodore
stock.
Contrary to what's written on some sites, the Amiga ROMs are *not*
abandonware.

Amiga, Inc. (or whoever they are these days) owns the rights, and
Software Hut is the licensed distributor for them for the US.
Software Hut is my dealer of choice for Amiga items, as they tend to
have about the best stock and prices.

There's a special bit of charm running traditionally pokey Amiga
applications (3d rendering, etc.) under an emulator on a fast machine --
the speed exceeds what any real Amiga could ever do :-)

Ah, I didn't realise ROMs were in the package too but I've never really
looked into Amiga Forever since I got a free copy of Amiga Explorer for
giving the Cloanto people some hi-res pix of my amigaphone :) That and some
real amigas have been spot on for me up till now.
I'll look into that, ta.
