[Forum] Where can I get the OS? ANN.lu Posted on 22-Oct-2004 12:00 GMT by Marvin Cassio 17 comments View flat View list Good morning. I hope you folks can help me, I'm not sure where else to ask so I'll ask here. I've recently purchased a used AmigaOne off of Ebay, and was told that the operating system comes with the board, but it hasn't been released, but will be sent to me as soon as it is. That's what I was told originally, it was even stated in the ebay sale. Now the story has changed slightly, he bought the board secondhand and has lost contact with the original purchaser so won't be sending me the OS! Do I have to reregister the board to get the OS? How do I get the OS, that I should have had anyway? Thanks for your help.

The way AmigaOS4 is distributed makes it almost impossible to get a copy except when buying a new AmigaOne. I bought my A1 used (I'm the third owner, just like you) and due to a mix up I sent some time trying to get a copy of the OS4 pre-release CD for it from Eyetech. Their line was very clear: if you can produce the original invoice for the board we'll sell you a copy of OS4, otherwise no deal. Without that bit of paper (which the guy I bought the A1 from didn't have) you'll get nothing out of them. They accepted that I actually owned the board and wasn't pulling a fast one or anything, but still just would not sell me the OS for it. In the end I got the OS4 CD via the two prior owners, but if that isn't an option open to you the best route might be to try contacting Hyperion directly.
