What about Install disks, should the need ever arise for me? (I didn't get an install disk with my WB 2.05 :( )

No Part (Disk) of the WB Sets is available for legal download ! But you won´t need any Install Disks, as you can copy all files by hand :p Of course it´s easier with an install disk :D

all the workbench are copyrighted, might of been a packing error if you didn't get the install disks (can't be sure for the A500+, A600).

if you are 100% against piracy, then try getting the original from Ebay... etc...

How strange, I thought it was just my A600HD which had the 2.05 install disk missing. Got a disk copy from someone else.

Anyway I don't need to use the Install Disk now as I have my own home made setup using Joinz and split lha files.

there was a deliberate movement by many manufacturers (in those early 80's days) to try and develop it so that they could use pre-install OS's and not supply install disks and any other 'business secrets' - they were arguing for competitive advantage and this stuff but it never worked out, mainly due to legal issues but also because of course the software houses need to develop for the OS so....it's similar to the whole microsoft source code shit.
