The appearance is similar to that of 2.0 and higher, with just minor differences. In these machines it is only used to bootstrap the machine and load the Kickstart that will be used to actually boot the system.
#Amiga os 3.9 disk version 3.9 update#
Kickstart/Workbench 1.4 was a beta version of the upcoming 2.0 update and never released, but the Kickstart part was shipped in very small quantities with early Amiga 3000 computers, where it is often referred to as the "Superkickstart ROM". Release 1.3 had few changes to Kickstart (mainly to enable autobooting hard disks) but had many improvements in Workbench, including a much faster file system for hard disks, an improved CLI, and various extra programs. Version 1.2 of Kickstart fixed many bugs, greatly improving the stability of the system, and added AutoConfig support which could automatically configure expansion boards. These versions were shipped in ROM with the A500, A1500, CDTV (1.3 only) and A2000. The early Kickstarts were still available on floppies for Amiga 1000 owners. Workbench was then booted from floppy disk or installed on a hard disk on later machines. Version 1.2 was the first to have Kickstart on a ROM and Workbench on one or two floppy disks.
Versions 1.0 and 1.1 were distributed only on floppy disks for the Amiga 1000. Versions 1.1 consisted mostly of bug fixes. They defaulted to a distinctive blue and orange colour scheme which was designed to give high contrast on even the worst of television screens (it could easily be changed by the user). The 1.x versions are the original implementation of AmigaOS.
