Buy an OS 3.1 upgrade for about $100 and read the ROMs.

                         --Shelly

if you want to risk it, post a message saying "i want a kickstart rom
image" in  
 
comp.emulators.misc 
 
usenet newsgroup.  i did and so far 3 people have sent me ROM images. (all
different versions, 1.2 /1.3 /2.04 etc.)  if you want to be legal, buy
yourself a kickstart ROM, and a EPROM tester to make a dump.  somwhere
there is a program on the net that makes an amiga read its own rom and
produce a image, but you need an amiga machine to start with, so it is kind
of useless. 
 
hope this helps

Sure there is. Buy a complete set of Kickstart 3.1 (don't know if that works
with UAE as I presume that's what you want it for). BTW: hope you have access
to an Amiga atleast if you'll plan to use it with UAE if you want to grab it
to disk.

That's not at all true.  You can buy the AmigaOS upgrades, and use the
ROMs contained therein to obtain a totally legal image of the OS.
Admittedly, you'll have to figure out how to get the image from the
ROM to a disk, but there are ways.

Why are OS3.1 etc not available as ROM images to buy. That way people with
too much memory can use the new OS without having to buy a new chip. And
they can boot without it when they do need the memory.
