Is there a DOS newer that 3.0 (Workbench 39.29)?
BG >>Is there a DOS newer that 3.0 (Workbench 39.29)?<<
The CD32 has a KickStart 3.1, but there is no 3.1 available for anything
else.
There was a 3.1, (for all Amigas) in Commodore beta-testing, but it hasn't
be released yet.

into jet engines.)
Thanks, Ron.
It has been said that some 3.1 systems have been released in Canada (likely
with the 4000T), but I can't confirm it.
The 3.1 systems are (were?) of some interest, since they are intended to work
with all platforms. I had been hanging back on an upgrade from 1.3 to 2.1 in
case 3.1 became available, saving me a stage.
Commodore's hope was that, with 3.1, we'd all be back on the same operating
system. Wonder if it will ever happen now?

Ouch. 1.3?
Get 2.1. Even if you got 3.1 next week, the pain you'd save during those
7 days would be worth it!

I've been looking for a 2.1 upgrade over the past little while .. but
Commodore Canada say they ain't got 'em, and don't know when they might have
'em.
Meanwhile, I have a small 2.1 Amiga 600 that I use on occasion. But it was
not possible for me to consider upgrading my big-memory Amiga 2000 until
recently, since it was not my property. Sigh.

Jim,
Someone posted a message here only yesterday – maybe in AmigaUser – saying that
their dealer had about 25 sets of 2.1 updates. Did you see the message?
Betty
Yes 3.1 does exist I got it with my 4000T which will only accept the 3.1 At the
moemnt Im having all sorts fo problems trying to launch a 386 Bridgeboard.

Don, did you mean to send the message about 3.1 to me? I wonder, because I've
known about 3.1 for a very long time. We have it on the A4000 Toaster system
we use for broadcasting church services at my church.
Betty
I replied as I thought no one had seen or heard of it ..whats the chance of
geting a copy of the install disk someone mine has disappeared and on the other
2 disks there is no sign of hd toolbox also are you running a BBoard or have
you had any unusual problems with the software launching and locking up.
DA
Don: From what I understand, you are having problems with a 386BB and a
4000T, right? If so, then you might want to know that I gave up trying to
make my 386BB work correctly with my desktop 4000. Dean Brown of DKB
Software checked into this sometime ago, and he believes that there is a
hardware conflict between the BB and revision -11 of the SuperBuster chip.
I believe that as well since my BB was working fine up until the day I
replaced my old -09 SuperBuster with the -11 revision. Since you have a
4000T (lucky you!), then chances are you have the latest Buster revision
as well. Not to discourage you, but you may find that you will never be
able to get that 386BB to work properly. I finally ended up purchasing a
Vortex 486SLC GoldenGate and it's been working fine. Utilities Unlimited
will soon have 486 emulation with the Emplant, so at least there are
alternatives.

Jim,
Sounds like you got caught like me only not as bad – I was holding back
waiting for the 4000T since I can't seem to make the slots work out no how
on a base 4000….

Have you tried computer answers? They've been moving A4kTs through stock.

Dale,
Yes. In theory my name is on their list as having "ordered" one. Guess I
better call them again. Its been about 4 weeks.
