![]() ![]() I think they also have no rights for AmigaOS 3.5 and 3.9 (Haage & Partner) and the 4.x versions for NG/PowerPC Amiga systems. Cloanto did NOT make AmigaOS 3.1.4, see Hyperion. Some Amiga retailers (shops) also sell Kickstart ROM chips with a license from Cloanto which should make them legal copies. Also includes a tool called Amiga Explorer to copy files between an emulated and a real Amiga over serial port or TCP/IP. The latest (as of writing) version is standalone, which basically equates to a high-spec classic Amiga (without officially being an Amiga).Ĭreators of the Amiga Forever software emulation suite who also appear to have the right to distribute the classic Amiga ROMs up to version 3.X and matching Workbench disk images. Most versions plug into an actual Amiga and take over part of the hardware with new versions inside the FPGA. They are UK based.Ĭreated the Vampire series of FPGA-based hardware. Originally (I think) an Amiga store, now also owns the A1200 trade mark in some countries (?). A good source for legal copies of Kickstart ROMs and WorkBench disk images.
