Workbench 3.1 question

[Gulliver]

Hi,

Will workbench 3.1 work properly with ROM 3.1.4 installed on a A1200?

You should not mix kickstart versions and disk versions. You will sooner or later face some issues.

That said, if you insist (I see no reason why), you can make that happen:

Install 3.1 and add workbench.library and icon.library from the 3.1.4 OS.

Make sure both libraries have the "p" protection bit set.

And then just boot normally, no LoadModule stuff is required.

Again, this is not adviced and you will most likely end up with problems in the long run. But as an experiment, it can be done.

No point in setting the pure bit when you’re not using LoadModule.

Even when using LoadModule you’re better off without pure bit set on exactly those libs, as you don’t want to risk having these monsters loaded to chipram. Just leaving them without pure bit to be loaded as a regular library upon first need works best.

The point is he is experimenting, so moving files back and forth may render one system unusable. So better be safe than sorry.

You can of course, use whatever method you like at your own risk.
