Every so often I call the store where I got my A3000 and ask about any 2.0 updates, the answer is allways 'we haven't had one yet'. I bought this 3000 the last week of June and has Kickstart version 36.141 and Workbench version 36.68. If the latest version 2.0 is any later than this, any idea how I get a update? Thanks for any info.

Just as an aside, I picked up my A3000 one week ago and have Kickstart version 36.143 and WB 36.68. It also came with a 50 meg HD instead of the 40 meg that I expected (grin).

Hmmm…. I wonder what the KickStart 36.143 corrects, mine is 36.141. My WorkBench rev number is the same. Now if I just had 10 mmegs more harddrive space like SOME people have… 🙂 (grin)

36.143 is the latest at the moment. From what I've heard, it fixes some file system bugs, and a few other things. There's a SetPatch2.0 floating around which fixes most of the 36.141 problems, but I'm not sure how you'd get that (call C=, I suppose). -Mike

Mike: I downloaded SetPatch2.0 from Bix. If it's wanted, I could upload it here. -Mike Schiller In sunny Fort Lauderdale

Make sure that you can upload it here – C= is very tight about uploading their stuff to places other than Bix. In any case, SetPatch2.0 should more or less do the trick for ya, but you should eventually get the latest from C=. -Mike

Don't be such a legal begal. Sheesh next thing you will want us to attempt to decipher the weirdnesses of Bix? <grin>

As a dealer we always check new machines for updates in the software. The last batch of machines (A3000) came with a newer kickstart 1.43. Your dealer may have it and not know it! -mark=

Thanks for the info, I will check with my dealer and see what happens. But it does seem CBM should mail out information on updates since most of us do register our machines when we send in the warranty cards.
