Hi,
i was just thinking what should i do now.
I have a 1200 with a blizzard 030 and a A4000 with a 040.
I have classicWB in both.
The A1200 has 3.1 roms but the A4000 not, it is waiting for a new ones (3.1) :shades:

I tried OS3.9 before, and i will put it in one of them, but i want to try something different in the other one.
I also installed Amigasys AGA 3.0 some time ago, maybe the next 4.0 version.... :hmmm:

Anyone saw the Aros 68K runnign in a real Amiga? :blink:
What about software for the OS, what crazy stuff did you do? SCUMMVM, does it run nice? DOSBOX? what about it?
What emulators did you run with success? Other cool software ?

They should definitely be suited to OS3.9. But you can do pretty much all OS3.9 stuff in 3.1 so either will do.

Can't say I've done a great deal of stuff with my '030. I've had IBrowse for web browsing and WookieChat for IRC.

I did try to get SheepShaver going once, but I had difficulty getting my Mac disk images onto the Amiga so didn't get very far :).

Your A4000's 040 has an MMU. They don't get used much as an Amiga, but you need one to be able to run Amiga distros of Linux, so maybe try those out.

Linux :hmmm: yes, but first i would like to put OS3.9, don't know yet, if 3.9 ou classicwb 3.9, or even amikit.
A friend of mine just create the 3.1 ROMs for me, they should arrive in the next days, This A4000 still had the 3.0

My A4000 had 3.0 roms for a long time. You can still run 3.9 with 3.0 roms, just by loading the 3.1 roms into ram at boot time. Worked for me, but has been a long time so can't remember how I did it.

Also, just sold my A4000... very sad... but I never used it, and Kin Hell will get much more enjoyment from it than I had time to.

There are a couple of people on Amibay in the UK that offer the service. I can contact them for you and see what they would quote and how long it might take.

AmigaKit will be fine. :thumbs:
