As before, I'll try to write up a list of changes, one after another. However, I don't want to write everything twice, so for simplicity, just look "next door": https://forum.amiga.org/index.php?to....msg844240#new Thanks!

Where can the physical roms/disks be bought in the UK?

eBay. There are official resellers that provide the ROM burning service (I think may be for an additional cost they may be able to supply the ROM image as well).

I've seen them but not too keen on sending a license code to some ebay seller, even if they are supposedly 'legit'!

Don't Amigakit supply the disks/roms or do I have to buy from an EU seller?

If you've already registered the licence number with your Hyperion account, there's not a whole lot they can do with it. Most people who burn the ROMs will do that just to make sure you own it legitimately because they don't want to assist in pirating it.

You mean a sell in *another* EU country? The UK is still in the EU. Nope, AmigaKit don't sell them, but several sellers elsewhere in the EU do. Might be an idea to buy it from one of them in the next couple of months so you don't get stung for import duties.

A nice touch of pedanticism there, I'll order the roms/disks from an 'EU' seller instead then

Hyperion still lists Amigakit as a dealer but obviously not for 3.1.4, would have been convenient, wonder why they are not allowed to sell it?

If you have an accelerator that supports "maprom" style image loading then you can just do it that way.

Yeah, I'm not so sure it's a case of not being allowed, but maybe a decision not to get involved given the legal shenanigans surrounding it, or to at least wait until the court cases have cleared up.

Only Amigakit know why they don't stock it.

But, looking at the options, Sordan in Ireland seems the easiest: ROMS for A1200 + Disk Labels + shipping for €37.64. I can download the ADF's and make my own disks when I register the license code at Hyperion! Only problem is their bloody shop is closed until Friday

Yep, that's where I got mine. Be aware though, the pictures are carefully arranged to hide the fact that the floppies used are high density. I had 3 of them not work in two drives - both known-good drives that don't show any other issues. I downloaded the ADFs and wrote them to DD floppies and all was well, but it's not what you want from a new purchase.

Of course I can't be sure that the issue is to do with the use of HD floppies, or if one of their duplication drives is mildly misaligned. It can't have helped however... So far as I can tell from other people's reports, Alinea and Amedia both use DD disks, but are also more expensive.

Edit: Sorry, I mis-read your post - it seems they've stopped supplying the floppies themselves altogether, but everything else (including labels) is there. Makes more sense - maybe more than just me were having issues...

Even some commercial Amiga games were duplicated on HD Disks, my copy of Valhalla And The Lord Of Infinity and Starquake came on HD Disks. Luckily i've made Kryoflux dumps of them so 'when' they go bad I can make ADF's from the dumps and write them back to DD disks.

Nice to know you got yours from Sordan, it was the cheaper option for me as I can copy my own disks and make sure they work rather than find the supplied disks are bad!

I got mine from Sordan via ebay. Delivery didn't take too long.

Just make sure to have something to assist straitening the pins on the ROM chips.

Something other than the dining room table.

Apparently.
