3.9 will work on that setup, but you might find your RAM doesn't stretch as far as it does with 3.1 (3.9 needs more RAM). You can see how much RAM is on your accelerator using ShowConfig or SysInfo - it will show all the different contiguous RAM blocks. The Supra RAM will show as 16bit, the GVP RAM will show as 32bit.

But by no means is 3.9 required for TCP/IP. Miami, AmiTCP, and Roadshow will all work under 3.1.

I think the GVP should put all of its RAM into the 32bit space. So your current config is only using 6MB in the Zorro II space (Supra & VA2000). You should be able to put your Supra card back to 6MB, which will max out the Zorro space with 8MB.

A tid bit off topic. but, here goes:
Is there an easy or usable tcp/ip stack for os1.3 or os2.1?


Looks like Miami works under 2.1, but I don't think much other internet software does.

For 1.3, I doubt there's anything. It predates the SANA-II and bsdsocket.library standards. *Maybe* Commodore's AS225 v1 works under 1.3 (hardcoded for the A2065), but as far as compatible software goes, you're probably going to be limited to the included command line tools.
