Hey folks,  I recently purchased an Amiga 1500, and Ive replaced the
power supply with a US version, and also purchased a A2091 card.  What
I need now is the Workbench disks.  People on Ebay want way too much
for a simple set of disks to get the machine booted up, and my
understanding is that a PC can not make them either.  Would someone
with a Amiga mind sending me a set?  I have the 3.1 ROM.  If you can,
please send me an email.

I have no AMIGA hardware.

All 4 disks are of version 2.04.  The labels state that I have
WORKBENCH, INSTALL, EXTRAS, & FONTS, disks.  These come with a
substantial manual "USING THE SYSTEM SOFTWARE" with a minimum of 930
pages.  The manual is HEAVY.

I can also include
 2 AmiTCP/IP v4.2 disks
 3 SUPER disks of user provided software
 1 POWER XL DRIVE (hd install?) disk
 1 ADDRESS IT! disk
 1 PERSONAL TBC III disk
 1 AMIGA SHOPPER 2 disk

A CROSS DOS 5 (maybe for the PC) disk also is available

Yeah, but 2.04 sucks IMHO, though the manual is useful to learn the OS 
basics. WB2.1 included pc0: dosdriver same as 3.x and a lot of the features 
that were found in 3.x as well. I wouldn't bother with anything less than 
WB3.1 these days especially if you already have the 3.1 KS ROM.

Yeah, anything would be useful right now though.  Can't do anything
with it without a boot disk set.  Ive googled around, and some say to
use a catweasel card (dont have one) or a serial connection to the
Amiga - which of course needs to be able to boot first.

Redrumloa can probably help you with the disks, he can be found here;

http://myworld.ebay.com.au/redrumloa/

Even if he doesn't have any listed, he may be able to supply you WB3.1 as he 
trades in a lot of Amiga gear.
Won't hurt to send him an email, he's very helpful.
