Emulation: Legal source of supply for Cyberstorm-ROM-file
If you are going to use AmigaOS 4.1 "Final Edition" with an emulator, that requires this PowerPC operating system, the Kickstart-ROM and the Workbench of AmigaOS 3.1 as well as the accelerator board ROM of the CyberStorm PPC.
If you do not own a Cyberstorm PPC, nevertheless you can use AmigaOS 4 legally in the emulation: In consultation with the rightholder, DCE, the ROM-file can be purchased in the IndieGO!-Appstore for the symbolic price of EUR 1. On request, Pascal Papara will bear the costs for purchasers of the computer AresOne as well as of the distributions AEROS R3 and Aminux (USB-Stick version).
