This collection was inspired by the recent distribution of the "official" Amiga Technologies GmbH AmigaOS 3.1 kits. This set really reflects the designs chosen by Amiga Technologies to represent the future releases of the AmigaOS. I might also like to add that its nice to see the traditional tick back! This volume contains five 640x512, 256 colour IFF boot pictures. I am hoping to produce more variations of this series and release them in the coming months. So what are boot pictures anyway? Well they are for use with picture booting utilities such as BootScreen, PicBoot and AmigaStart to display a nice start-up image while your Hard Disk is booting, much like Microsoft's Windows. These pictures were drawn by hand exclusively with Deluxe Paint V. Hope you enjoy them :-) @endnode @node Description "Workbench Boot Pictures for AmigaOS, Volume #6 - Description" Description ----------- Below is a brief description of of the images included in this release: amigaos-bp-any.iff 640x512, 256 color, HiRes Laced, Template image, blue background amigaos-bp1.iff 640x512, 256 color, HiRes Laced, OS 3.1, blue background amigaos-bp2.iff 640x512, 256 color, HiRes Laced, OS 3.1, blue background, transparent logo. amigaos-bp3.iff 640x512, 256 color, HiRes Laced, OS 3.1, cyan background amigaos-bp4.iff 640x512, 256 color, HiRes Laced, OS 3.1, plain white background Total: 5 pictures. @endnode @node Requirements "Workbench Boot Pictures for AmigaOS, Volume #6 - Requirements" Requirements ------------ To use these pictures you will need: * Either A1500/A2000/A2500/A3000 (ECS/OCS/Graphics Card) or A1200/A4000 (AGA/Graphics Card) * OS 2.0 or better * A Hard Disk * A boot picture utility such as `BootScreen' or 'PicBoot'.
