I was also surprised by the omission, but then realised they're hosting archives of the installers.
Much of classic AmigaDOS is in the Kickstart ROM (with the workbench environment loaded from disk). I'm guessing that as an OS it's too tightly integrated with the hardware to make sense in this context?
- icedchai 5y agoI doubt that is the reason. Kickstart ROMs are available for download, both legally from Cloanto as part of "Amiga Forever", and otherwise.
- mdpye 5y agoBut what would you install them on? (aside an emulator of course). As ROMs they seem more a part of the hardware than the other stuff there. But hey, it could just be lack of interest on the part of their audience. It looks like they've got an image of the atari dos disk, and gem (for msdos albeit) but not the TOS ROMs... /shrug
- wk_end 5y agoWell, aside from emulators, you could "install" them onto your own ROM chips for use in your own Amiga, if so inclined.
