Paul – > NO ROM CHIPS! Expert Services . . . How could that be??? I had just started to think about getting 3.1 for my CBM A2630 accelerated A2000 (with a GVP Series II HC+2) even though I had sworn to leave it at 2.1 until I (whimpering and moaning) had to finally transition to another HW/SW platform. Frankly, I didn't want to even chance going through another "Oh, it's incompatible with your oddball (<-implied) system unless you get the 'frammises' for your 'whatzit'" experience — like when I went from 1.3 to 2.04 (New ROMs for the A2630 AND new ROMs for the GVP Hard Card with just getting them a MAJOR part of the hassle)! Well, many reports of decisions to upgrade (yours included) were beginning to weaken my resolve. Found myself looking through the back of the February 95 Amiga World (which wonder-of-wonders showed up yesterday on the magazine rack of the Waldenbooks right here in Lawton, OK, USA — after months and months of not a trace) and noting that Safe Harbor, Creative, SoftwareHut, etc. all advertised the 3.1 upgrade. I wondered if any of those numbers were still being answered and if so, would mention of 'Amiga' bring sneers and/or snickers? Planned to start looking back through past messages (or posting a request) for the primary source of the 3.1 upgrade (Expert Services?). Told myself that I wouldn't risk the installation, but would have just 3.1 on hand ready to be installed when my primary processing was safely moved to the (yech) new platform and the 2000 was (sigh) just a backup machine. Now — I dunno! Good luck and would appreciate hearing how it turns out. ——
