I have a physical Hyperion 3.1 ROM in my Amiga 2000 right now.

FYI - I had this issue with the set of A3k ROMs I picked up a while back. I had other unrelated hardware issues so put off dealing with it. In the meantime, Cloanto added this as a known issue that has been corrected, and after I contacted them a replacement set is being shipped to me.robdaemon wrote:I bought a physical 3.X ROM from them for my Amiga 2000. I can't use my floppy drive with that ROM installed - every floppy errors out.
Can you link me to the court evidence? I would like to read this..

I'd put it this way: It's simply [bad] what Cloanto is currently
doing to Hyperion. Hyperion made a new OS, and Cloanto is attempting to
keep that from the community.
Amiga is about makers, and Hyperion is a maker. Cloanto is selling GPL'd
software that others have written for free.
