AmigaOS 3.5, 3.9
After the demise of Commodore, Workbench 3.5 was released on 18 October 1999 and 3.9 in December 2000 by a German company called Haage & Partner. The later owners of the Amiga trademark granted a license to Haage & Partner to update the Amiga's operating system. Whereas all previous OS releases ran on Motorola 68000 new release 3.5 onwards required a 68020 or better, CD-ROM and at least 4 MB RAM. Unlike previous releases 3.5 was released on a CD-ROM. The Kickstart 3.1 was also required as the operating system didn't include new ROM.
Updates included:
- Improved CD filesystem
- Supplied with TCP/IP stack (unregistered time-limited free MiamiDX demo in 3.5, unrestricted AmiTCP in 3.9), web browser (AWeb), and e-mail client
- Improved GUI and new toolkit called "ReAction"
- AVI/MPEG movie player (OS3.9)
- New partitioning software to support hard disks larger than 4 GB
- HTML documentation in English and German
- MP3 and CD audio player (OS3.9)
- Dock program (OS3.9)
