OS3.9 & 3.1 Rom

[blade002]

These Amiga suppliers over here are a lazy pack of idiots. Ive been enquiring about OS3.9 and the Roms for a while now, and they are just not being informative enough.. so it looks like the only way to get them is through you guys.

Is anyone on here interested in selling thier Original copy of OS3.9 or 3.1 kickstart Rom chips, or both!?..

I have my school holidays coming up soon ( working & studying ) and i will finally have free time to play around with my Amiga after 6 years of hibernation!.. I want to get all the bits before my study break starts!.. who can help me!??????

I know..., Amigainnovations is a plonker, and the one (forget the name) in Brisbane has its website not working for like 6+ months..

Amigakit is Expensive for 3.1 Roms, but is a quick sender (Overcharges for postage too).

Vesalia.de have A1200 3.1 roms for the exchange rate of AU$30.35 (17.90 euro).., and 3.9CD for the exchange rate of AU$67.64 (39.90 Euro).

I would suggest ordering from them, forget the useless (swearword) amiga dealers here in Australia.

Well i have been following some threads on A.org and Amigaworld and people swear by Vesalia.de too.

Amigakit, tend to bump up the postage (charged me 11 pounds, postage stamp was 1 pound).

And the prices for Vesalia are cheaper than Amigakit, i expect the postage to be less too.

Vesalia gets the vote from me

@blade002

Airmail shipping of AmigaOS 3.9 bundle deal with A1200 3.1 ROMs is £4.28 to Australia

@whiteb

Thank you for your feedback.

You stated that we charged you £11, however our records say £2.85 for one order and £2.58 (USD 4.81) for the second order.

I would pay more postage and receive the item in good time, than pay cheap and wait 1 month to get it...
I have bought from vesalia a replacement 1200 keyboard and a 600 one, and despite my wish they were send as "economy" packet...

There are more than just a few who don't either. Seems Vesalia has improved recently (perhaps in response to criticism), but as Keropi has said the Vesalia owner can still be quite slow filling orders....and more so if you're outside Europe. I've got a friend in Germany who has bought from them many times and even he admits that Vesalia can sometimes be slow sending stocked items to customers in Germany.

Amigakit, tend to bump up the postage (charged me 11 pounds, postage stamp was 1 pound).

Haven't heard that about AmigaKit.

And the prices for Vesalia are cheaper than Amigakit, i expect the postage to be less too.

Doubt it. German airmail is hugely expensive and sending packages (up to 2kg) to Australia costs a minimum of 13 EUR (AU$22).

@blade002
I'd recommend you go with Software Hut or AmigaKit (see above) if you don't mind paying a little more for faster service.

amigakit are good

Wow that's an old thread that I started, I was only 32 years old back then

11 years later though and a response

[dannyp1]

Hopefully they are never dead. Only hibernating.

@blade002: So, who did you order from in the end, you never did reply back?

I feel like a bit of dick now not getting back to you way back then

In answer to you question though 11 years later, I have no idea because it was so damn long ago?! I might just do more of this in case it jogs my memory

[amigakit.com]

I hope you ordered from us back in 2006

please note > for OS 3.9 you don't need 3.1 roms
(this is a urban myth)
having 3.0 roms OS 3.9 will work fine
fact is the workbench.library crash wickedly if roms 3.0 are detected

developers done it on purpose to sell rom 3.1 kits

you can install OS3.9 if you have roms3.0, then you must replace the original workbench library with version 45.132 version included in Boing bag 3 and boing bag 4 unnoficial packages, this remove the evil roms3.0 limitation

[Daedalus]

You can say the same about any ROMs - just replace the parts that aren't compatible with the newer OS and it should be fine. Most people like to do that by either replacing the ROMs or softkicking it, but if it makes you happy to use some odd combination of libraries and modules just to stick it to "the man", then good for you.
