I run OS 3.9 + BB1-4, Visual Prefs, Peter K.'s icon library, and the Rebel palette on my A2000 using Indivision ECS and a LCD monitor.  I typically run either 800x600x16 color SuperPlus, or a custom 700x482x16 color screen mode (is a little faster than SuperPlus).  Attached are a couple screenshots of my system that I took a few days ago.  While I'm still in the market for a graphics card it's a low priority, given the cost.  Honestly I've shown this system to people and they're shocked that it's only 16 colors.  ;)

So, yes, 3.9 will absolutely run for you on the Indivision ECS.  :drink:

Thanks, Gizmo!  The AD516 is still "on the list", I haven't had a chance to reload the software or try out the AHI driver for it yet.  Hopefully soon!  And the USB Thylacine, I'm not too pleased with.  It's slow and laggy when it doesn't lock up the system entirely.  I've got on my list to try it with the original Thylacine software (instead of Prometheus), and am also considering SpeedFreak's 14MHz Buster hack, since it seems like people using this card in A3000/4000 ZIII don't have any of these issues.  Or I may ditch it for an alternate solution, still deciding.

Looking at your sig our systems are pretty similar, I smell a competition for the best A2000, haha!  :D

That is one of the best 16 color systems I have ever seen! Great job Mike, that is a sweet system.

Thanks!  It's a labor of love, and also of OCD.  Back in the day when I had my first Amiga's I would go for down-to-the-pixel percision on icon appearance and placement, etc.  Used to stay up all night fine-tuning appearance.  Now a'days I can only keep my eyelids up till about 4am messing with this stuff, LOL.  ;)

How does you AD516 work out with OS3.9? I've never tried to get mine to actually work yet. :o

Hi Gizmo!  Just to get back to you on this, I loaded up the latest Studio 16 software and AHI drivers last night, AD516 appears to work fine under 3.9.  I played back some samples (through Studio 16), system beeps, and threw an mp3 in there with AMPlifier, too, no issues.  Now to find a list of other AHI compatible software... this kind of rocks!  :)
 
PS - disregard the Katy Perry wallpaper, I'm actually listening to Boston, LOL.  :biglaugh:
