I see you've edited your post, is this about the 367826-02 one you originally mentioned, or do you have another image which is of 367826-01?

Thanks for confirming the CRC!



If you scroll down to "367826-01 Install 2.04 1991 Commodore A3000", unfortunately there's no CRC. Just to be clear, I'm not looking for 367826-02. :)

Thanks for confirming that the set wasn't necessarily included with an A3000. Maybe there's a part number 367826-01 lurking out there after all. :)

Did that set of floppies come with the A3000 when it was new? In that case it's possible that part number 367826-01 is indeed some rare oddity. Since early A3000 came with a pre-release of 2.0, the...

Is the install disk part number 367826-01 or 367826-02? If it's the former, would you mind posting the checksum in the preservation thread (http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=82731) for reference?

A3000 install disk 2.04

I don't know if this disk is considered a part of Workbench, and therefore not to be uploaded, but hopefully it's fine to at least discuss it.

I've seen several references to this disk (part...

It's worth mentioning that this is only relevant if you modify the motherboard, as the Agnus isn't connected to the trap door memory otherwise.
