You can buy two 27C400 EPROMS from a guy in China for £8 including delivery + £1 to write to them with whatever files you like.

Don't forget to ask for parts which are 120ns or faster.

They are backup ROMS just in case your originals fail.

lmfao.

Shouldnt that read "They are piracted ROMS just in case your originals you downloaded fail".

Fact of the matter is, they are pirated and if we sold them exactly like he is, then we would be cut down by everyone (not to mention getting sued).

He does realise that Hyperion could take action against him. As they now own the rights to 3.1.

I am sure he knows but probably doesn't care. He's only a little fish. While they could take action against him they would never get anything out of him and it would cost money.

Amigadeals have Kickstart 3.1 ROMs (A4000 Desktop) with fitting instructions for £49 including free delivery. Is that reasonable?

£49 is a bit extreme.

I would guess that 98% of the roms you will find for sale will be pirated. There are very few legal ones still around that aren't already in a computer. If you haven't already guessed, Hyperion or Amiga inc really aren't very concerned about the old roms and OS's. I think the only reason they haven't been released to the public domain is because they want to keep their future options open.

Ermmmm, we still have loads of legal mask roms for sale.
At a lot cheaper price than £49.
