Will this work with a MiST running the AGA core?
Is it possible to install it on top of ClassicWB 3.1 Lite, or do you have to install it on a clean Workbench?

The update is made for the physical 68K based real Amiga machines, so that is what we promise where it works. No promises for the MiST, of course, but it would astonish me if it would not work.

It comes with its installation script that performs a clear install. Even though this is the recommended way of installation, you will then get a workbench that looks exactly like the 3.1 workbench.

Just tried it on my MiST running Minimig-Mist 1.2.3 Beta and it seems to work fine. I was able to boot both from the ADF and from a 4 GB .HDF which I had prepared in WinUAE.

When adding BestWB to the install, it crashes on the next boot (on the MiST but not in WinUAE). "Software Failure - ramlib #80000004". However that's not related to OS 3.1.4 itself of course, since that's a third party modification. I'm guessing it's adding something to the startup-sequence, Devs: or somewhere that's not compatible. Will have a look later.


Edit: Turns out the problem was 68020.library that BestWB installs. Removed that and it works great now. So if any of the other 5 people who own a MiST want to try it, that's what you have to do  :-*

Dunno about in Viking country.

In Viking country, such "easter egg" agreements are by their very nature void. Also void is any attempt at preventing software from running on hardware by terms of licenses - you can run whatever software you have bought on whatever hardware you own, even if it means modifying the software.

Such a clause in the "EULA" of this OS release is straight out pointless and bewildering.

They probably had to put the clause there due to ongoing disputes. Remember, every cent you give Hyperion or Cloanto goes straight to the pockets of lawyers. The money is not spent evolving the Amiga platform.
