And up to what point in the year is covered by "early H1/2008"? More or less than Q1/2008? |

| It´s pretty lame to suggest Q1 is a more valid standard. We are all from different places man.

> Seems you never used OS3.9
Unfortunately I did, and 3.5. They were basically crap. Hardly any different from 3.1 and so unprofessional you had to reboot your A1200 several times just to start the thing up. If it were professional then 3.5 and 3.9 would have come with new ROMs and not software hacked into reboots just to get it running.
Bill.
Who was very UN-impressed with both 3.5 and 3.9 and the reboot situation
OS4 on A1 Rocks 
PS. I almost forgot the 'professional' way the OS3.5 installation wiped out the Blizzard 68040 library without telling anyone, meaning until the old library was copied back OS3.5 would not boot ! Professional - PAH! Last edited by BillE on 01-Jan-2008 at 11:54 AM.

They did not have permission to make new ROMs. |

| Happy New Year to you too Hyperion, and thanks for all the work you've put into supporting the community over the last few years. OS4 is a joy to use, and is a reminder to anyone who uses other operating systems exactly how clunky they really are.  _________________ After a decade away from the scene, I am back!

You sure? 3.5 was commissioned by the old Amiga Tech - they must have been able to get permission from themselves.
Anyway even if they did I find it unlikely that they would have done due to cost. _________________ Sam

| Doing new ROMs would have meant splitting 1 product into 4 (A500/2000, A1200, A3000, A4000) maybe even 5 (for the A4000T). I doubt that would have been a sensible idea. _________________ - We don't need good ideas, we haven't run out on bad ones yet - blame Canada

Not necessarily. They could have done one, comprehensive package of the 3.x OS software, with all the different sets of "hooks" to the different, new ROM versions, included on the CD, and then provided the different ROMs in separate cover (that is, in it's own, independant box) to be drop-shipped to the end-user along side of the OS package.
In other words, they could have had 4 or 5 different 3.5 or 3.9 ROMs, but only needed one OS 3.5 or OS 3.9 CD/installer/manuals package. You simply make sure you've ordered the correct ROM (i.e. you specify you have an Amiga1200) when you order the package, and they send you the CD/manuals bundle, and the appropriate ROM package.
There was never, ever a need to have the ROMs packaged in the same box as the OS. _________________ "I love peacenicks, they're so easy to conquer." --Ivan J Ironfist, the Dictator

| So to avoid shipping 4(5) products they should have shipped 5(6) ?? Brilliant !!!
This would have meant that they chips have been produced (in what numbers for which version ?), and dealers would have stocked them.
Bad idea, for a market that was impossible to gauge in advance. _________________ - We don't need good ideas, we haven't run out on bad ones yet - blame Canada
