#Amiga DOS 3.1 ships!

Does anyone know if and when a version of 3.1 will be out for the A1200?
Also could I buy a copy of 3.1 and install the software on a HD for my
CD32?

CD32: 3.1 is a ROM upgrade as well as a Workbench upgrade, so, no, you
can't just install the software. I think that you must have the ROM to
use the disks, but it *might* be the case the you could at least have the
WB upgrade, though you still wouldn't be all the way to 3.1 (just 3.0 and
a half).

I opened my original CD32's case (it arrived non-funstional and opened it
to reset the socketed chips) and found the ROM was marked 3.1.

Come to think of it, that could almost be the same 3.1 KS you'd find on
the other platforms, though I'm not sure of it. I feel stupid for not
remembering that. The driving force for 3.1 was CD32. Most features that
were added were mostly for CD32, though time was spent getting ECS and OCS
bugs and other bugs out as well.
What you need to do, if you can, is to run c:version on your CD32. See
what the KS revision is. Then do the same on a 3.1 A4000 or A3000 or
A2000 to compare. I think it is 40.70 for 3.1, but am not sure.

It is 40.70 on my 4000/040 with 3.1. I'll have to try it on my CD32….
I'm back, and I couldn't get my CD32 to have a Workbench screen or CLI in
order to check the version. Oh well, if you have a way to get it, let me
know.

James,
You can't get to Workbench on CD32 unless you have a special CD32 disk
with Workbench on it–or you have an SX-1 that will allow you change your
CD32 into an Amiga 12000 w/CD32 drive.
I have been playing with a CD32/SX-1 for a while now at Scala and they
seem to work quite well. The SX-1 packaging has been updated so that they
connect firmly to the CD32 as opposed to the original release.

Kickstart 40.68, Workbench 40.42
but then it is ECS not AGA.
