Hi,
Well, I finally got around to it; I have downloaded and installed Update 3 on the A1.
There has been a lot of discussion about problems and issues, so I was planning to go through it in some detail, trying to address each one.
However, I can honestly say that it gave me no trouble at all. Rather than repeat myself, you can read what little there is to read here:

Been playing around with it since, not experienced any trouble at all so far.
Verdict: painless.

How is this possible? OS4 is sh1t, everyone knows this!

Just lucky, I guess...
Also worth noting, my A1 didn't explode, implode or otherwise belch out the magic blue smoke yet.

Next you'll be telling us that the USB ports on your A1 function perfectly on update 3!

Me: Another lucky one... Update 3 on Pegasos II and SAM440ep worked out painless, everything's fine. Just making a backup of my SAM's harddisk to an external USB2.0-disk - now with something I would call comfortable speed (compared to Update 2). :-)

@Karlos
Is OS4 fun to use?
Are there a lot of OS4 games?
Do rely heavily on OS3.X and other legacy software?
How do you like using OS4?
Do you use it everyday and for surfing the web?
Did you install MUIOWB? If so do you like it and use it everyday?
I want to get a SAM460ex system but I guess I'll wait to see what ACube's big TOP Secret deal is first. I wonder if AmigaKit will offer whatever ACube's TOP SECRET deal is.
Thanks for any reply!

I'm probably not the best guy to ask.
Well, naturally I find it fun to use, but I find anything Amiga fun to tinker with. I won't lie and say that my OS4 machines are my main everyday rigs, they're not. They are what I use when I want to actually have some fun rather than do work. I use them for development and getting my Amiga fix, along with classic machines. I pretty much enjoy using them to do stuff just for the sake of it. Not the sanest rationale, I guess, but that's what hobbies are.
I've only just downloaded MUI-OWB. Given the maturity of this browser on MorphOS, I'm expecting it to be a good experience.

I'd like to know what it performs like on your BPPC once you've installed the update. :)

So, what is your primary system/OS?

For everyday stuff and work I use linux. Unless I really fancy a spot of gaming, in which case I may sink to booting Windows for a few hours ;)
However, my Amigas get almost daily use, even if it's only for a short time.

To satisfy the "pictures or it didn't happen" rule (full images in gallery):
Prior to installing, back up existing install:

Running the installer:

That's obviously MorphOS with an OS4 skin!
-
I have installed on my Sam440 and now it goes very fine better than before this update, with mi other Sam460 it goes as always(for this board we need two things a good and stable sound drivers and drivers for Ati radeon cards).

:lol:
Actually, I had a long chat with the better half recently and I think she maybe understands my geeky needs a bit better. I might be able to get away with another machine yet and there is a very obvious hole in my PPC collection.
-
The installation process was painless on my CSPPC A4000.
The only problem so far was with ALGOR : Installed with Luciferin the needed classes & stack it worked fine on 4.1, but after the update it won`t boot WB (note that I can hold both usb-mouse buttons and call the early ss menu!).

You can have my Peg 1 or my G4 Mac for nowt bro.

Check out my Poseidon tutorial on my website http://www.hd-zone.com under the AmigaOS 4.1 Classic section.
It may help.

...and anyone can have my Efika for the same!
...or maybe just shipping.

Well, you see he is a computer whisperer. He knows all the secret incantations.

I thought the G4 was for your wife?

The best one is "You better work or it's debian ppc again for you!"

We have two.

Thank you HammerD, I tried something that I had forgotten : installing poseidon on 4.1.3 (4.1 was a clear install, wiped out 4.0)
The thing is that I remember poseidon surviving resets and 3.9 to 4.0 boots (it was flashed to the ALGOR's EPROM).
Without changing a thing, after the update I can move the USB mouse pointer while on the 4.1.3 early startup-menu , but shortly after choosing the boot device (the 4.1.3 WB) it won`t boot to WB (black screen). If I disable the whole flashrom content, it boots fine.
I loaded the previous modules as were before, leaving out everything Poseidon-related stuff and I got it to boot! I think there must be a conflict with the WB (I`ve already commented out the USB kickstart modules and the "USBCtrl start" command).
