Title: Helped needed for OS 3.5 or 3.9 build...
Post by: phill25 on April 15, 2007, 01:41:17 PM

Hi guys,

Whilst over on the Amibench site I noticed there was a A4000 with a few upgrades and a Amiga 1200 in a power tower with Voodoo etc (see link below)

Was just wondering which would be the better way to go to get a decent Amiga working for a newer Amiga OS and what you'd all suggest?
The Amiga I was going for went through (it had PPC + Bvision etc) and really wanted to see it through...

Any comments or advice or ideas would be great to hear :-)

Phill

I will add that I only have 3.0 Roms, so I assume in my Amiga's current state it wont work with 3.5 or 3.9?

I have seen some 3.1 roms on Ebay for at the moment, £7 and £3 postage (they are from Germany) so would they be ok for mine??  Are they hard to change and what would I need to change them with?

I'm really interested in trying to get the Amiga towered at least with a CD or DVD rom installed.  I suppose a graphics card would be too expensive to put in it as well?

I'd love to get back some of the everyday use for my Amiga :-)  I think I'll use it more often if I did... Anyones advice, opinions or help would be very appreaited :-)
