John, <Do you know whether this is supported by Escom as an official Amiga release? My understanding is that it was never released by Commodore.> The release of OS 3.1 was always an official release. VillageTronics signed a contract with Commodore before the liquidation. Part of your confusion could come from the fact that, at first, VT thought that it was only for Picasso users (the reason they were so hot to get it released was improvements that affected the Picasso). Later, after re-reading the contract they realized they could sell it to anyone, so they did, and, as far as I know still are. It is also shipping in all the new machines AmigaTech is shipping soon. The reason why some mail order houses are still selling OS 2.04 and OS 2.1 is because they still have stock on hand. I suspect that they'd be selling OS 1.3 if they had kits and thought anyone would actually buy it. <g> Asha @}–`–,-
