Amiga Workbench 1.3 Rom

DISCUSSION

A: Amiga Forever Plus Edition (also included in the Premium Edition) includes ROM and system disks between version 0.7 and 3.X, including 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2.04, 2.05, 2.1, 3.0 and 3.1.

Amiga Workbench 1.3 Rom

Workbench 1.3 (two floppy disks) works on systems with a 1.2 or newer ROM ('Kickstart'). Even the oldest Amiga 500 and 2000 systems have at least a 1.2 ROM. This is the last series to support 256-KB ROM models like the Amiga 1000, which can be booted from a Kickstart 1.2 or 1.3. This is so cool. It's the Commodore Amiga running Workbench 1.3 and 3.1 on kickstart 2.0 roms. It's using a March 2006 release of uae4all and it's.

To access the ROM files select Open Folder/Amiga Files from the File menu in Amiga Forever, then go inside 'Amiga Files/Shared/rom' (or see 'Amiga Files' at the root of the distribution medium).

Even the ancient 0.7 ROM image is included, as it is required to run some memorable software, such as the one that was demonstrated at the 1985 Launch of Amiga event in New York, with Andy Warhol and Debbie Harry. These items have been acquired or licensed by Cloanto from the Amiga companies and include newer developments by Cloanto and by other third parties.

The disk-based versions 1.3, 2.04, 2.1, 3.0 and 3.1 are included as full floppy disk image sets, with 1.3, 2.1 and 3.1 also as preinstalled hard disk images. Other disk-based versions are included for historical reasons, in a more limited format sufficient to boot the system.

1.3

Amiga Forever includes a preinstalled Workbench 3.X environment (newer than 3.1), and also includes or supports operating systems not originally released by Commodore (e.g. AROS), as well as hardware diagnostic systems and operating systems not originally meant to run on Amiga hardware.

The Value Edition of Amiga Forever includes only Workbench 1.3 and versions 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 of the 'Kickstart' ROM, which is in general sufficient to run more than 70% of Amiga games and other older software. Amiga Forever Plus Edition contains all the additional ROM and operating system versions.

The licenses for certain third-party files which were originally bundled with the Amiga operating system were not renewed, and are therefore in part missing in disks released after a certain date (e.g. in version 1.3 of the Amiga operating system as shipped with the Amiga 3000 in 1991). Cloanto was able to license some of these original components directly from the copyright holders, and to include them in Amiga Forever.

Workbench V1.0 (1985) (Commodore).adf

Cloanto placed a high priority on preserving and respecting the original look, feel and compatibility of version 3.1 of the operating system as it was released before its development team ceased maintenance of the operating system. Amiga Forever also includes internally developed or fully licensed additional preinstalled components, such as system patches, GlowIcons, TCP/IP, RTG, etc. Amiga Forever contains instructions on how to disable such add-ons without affecting functionality, if so desired, or to entire additional Amiga OS add-on packages, such as AmiKit and AmigaSys.

The CommodoreAmiga 3000, or A3000, is a personal computer released by Commodore in June 1990. It features improved processing speed, improved graphics rendering, and a new revision of the operating system. It is the successor to the Amiga 2000.

Its predecessors, the Amiga 500, 1000 and 2000, share the same fundamental system architecture and consequently perform without much variation in processing speed despite considerable variation in purchase price. The A3000 however, was entirely reworked and rethought as a high-end workstation. The new Motorola 32-bit 68030 CPU, 68882 math co-processor, and 32-bit system memory increase the integer processing speed by a factor of 5 to 18, and the floating-point processing speed by a factor of 7 to 200 times. The new 32-bit Zorro IIIexpansion slots provide for faster and more powerful expansion capabilities.[2]

In common with earlier Amigas the 3000 runs a 32-bit operating system called AmigaOS. Version 2.0 is generally considered to have a more ergonomic and attractive interface than previous versions, which were designed with television sets as a lowest common denominator display. Access for application developers was simplified.

The A3000UX is an A3000 variant bundled with the UNIX System V operating system. Commodore had a licensing agreement with AT&T to include a port of Unix System V (release 4). Commodore also sold a towerized variant called the A3000T.

An enhanced version, the Amiga 3000+, with the AGA chipset and an AT&T DSP3210 signal processing chip was produced to prototype stage in 1991. Although this system was never released, Commodore's negotiations with AT&T over the proper way to bundle their VCOS/VCAS operating system software in a personal computer environment helped Apple Computer deliver their Quadra 660 and Quadra 840 AV-series Macintosh systems, two years later.[3]

Instead of the Amiga 3000+, Commodore replaced the A3000 six months behind schedule, in the fall of 1992, with the A4000.
