Workbench 3.1 (40.43) files details
Just to clarify: I'm not asking for the someone to share the actual file(s).
Also, not sure if this is the right area to post this; mods feel free to move this as needed. As most of you know, back in 2016(?) Hyperion released: Workbench 3.1 (40.43) release (with a free copy of OS 1.3.3) Kickstart 3.1 (40.72) At the time I was not aware of this, and by the time I found out about it, they had stopped offering Workbench 3.1 (40.43). I was able to get Kickstart as well as the recently released Workbench 3.1.4 What I'm looking for is details on Workbench 3.1 (40.43), specifically: -list of file(s) included -file size (bytes) and hashes (preferably MD5 and/or SHA1) EDIT: Confirmed that the free 1.3.3 they included with this was also modified, and they also released an update for the 3.1 40.43 (see https://www.gregdonner.org/workbench/wb_b31x.html) So if anyone has these, also interested in files, size and hashes for these. Also, was this available as a download-only? only as a floppies? both? Thanks. |
Yes, I missed this release too :

Sorry for the necrobump; finally found someone with the file and kind enough to share the details.
From what little I could find, the workbench file was updated (due to a couple of issues when originally released, such as a non-bootable disk); the details below are for the updated file (if anyone has the original file and would like to provide its details, I'd really appreciate it). Code:
workbench-40.43-2016-10-22.zip Code:
Workbench 1.3.3\Extras.adf;901,120;C4036E67;868F5551E430432BCC3E4359ADA193FF;2978D7407AA3CFA836FDC3373518681991BC4C1C And while we are on the subject, here's the corresponding info for the kickstart 40.72 from that time: Code:
kickstart-40.72-2016-02-22.zip Code:
kick.34.4.rom;262,144;C4F0F55F;82A21C1890CAE844B3DF741F2762D48D;891E9A547772FE0C6C19B610BAF8BC4EA7FCB785 |
retro is all about necro.

Sorry. Didn't notice your link. |
Hmm, i never knew there was a Kickstart 40.72 for the A1200.
I canĀ“t buy it anywhere. :confused Aehmmm .... Does anybody have it ? cough cough ;) |
No need or use asking Hyperion, they don't sell old releases.
Once 3.1.4 came out, they removed the option to buy above mentioned kickstart 40.72 and workbench 40.43. Similarly, once 3.2 came out, they removed 3.1.4. Although it's not being sold (or even supported?) anymore, I'm not sure what EAB's stance is with Hyperion stuff. |

Thats kinda stupid, if people want them; and what about the preservation of those versions ? I bought my original rom from cloanto and thats version 40.68. If there would be not this "licence hick hack" between cloanto and hyperion :guru They should come together and not fight each other. There is already enough fighting going on in this World :crying |
Many/most companies stop selling old versions of their products once a new version is out. This is to force users to use the latest version and to avoid having to support old stuff. It's always been like this (or at least for several decades now).
I had discussions many times with companies, where I told them I'd buy 2 licenses of one of their products if they provided me both the latest version and an old one, and 99% of the time they didn't agree (and people say companies are greedy bastards /s). While I bought the above mentioned kickstart back in the day, I missed the workbench. I contacted Hyperion at the time (3.1.4 had not been released yet) and they refused to sell me a copy. Again: I'd gladly share it, but not without a mod/admin first confirming it's ok to share in the first place. Per the rules, some stuff is not allowed, and not sure if this falls in such category. And no, companies do not care for preservation; they see it as another way of piracy. |
