Have you tried any other stack than EasyNet? Like Genesis, Miami, or Roadshow?

IMHO you might want to resolve that problem with your Workbench partition being 100% full before you go any further in your troubleshooting.  ;)

I'm going to take the hardline approach and say it's better to get a new CF and start with a fresh install of just Workbench. I've seen in the past where sometimes these CF cards that people get off ebay, that come "preconfigured" with a ton of games and other crap, also have lots of stuff on them that can cause problems (for example, "ClassicWB"). Better to start fresh. 3.9 with BB1-4 is great for upgraded classic Miggy's, you don't need any of that other stuff. My .02 cents. ;)

I'm assuming you're on an A1200, or something? You have a CD drive to install 3.9? Once that all is done you can get a PCMCIA-to-CF adapter and just copy the games off the old CF onto the new one. There's all sorts of other ways to install two CF's in your Amiga, as well. Dual card interfaces, cables with multiple ports, etcetera.

I would NOT recommend for you to use Boing Bag 3 or 4. Stick with official BB 1 and 2 from Amiga.

I love you man.  But just because YOU don't know how to install them, doesn't mean they don't work great.  ;)

Disclaimer:  OP's mileage may vary.  :)

A bit off topic but, is there a way to straighten out all the boing bags? Take out the old and buggy parts, replace with newer versions and put them all on 1 CD?

I can't imagine it would be too hard for someone with a CF interface to just pop in a blank CF, install 3.9 off the CD, then install BB 1, 2, 3, 4, all in order, then download the few additional updates from Aminet that aren't included in the BB's. Heck, I could do that. But creating some kind of installer script and putting it on a CD... that would probably take some doing. :(

The only times I see legit problems is if you take an already running system, something that's been in use and had all manner of updates and changes made, and then try to install a BB update. It's just like with Windows, the best way to do it is a fresh install on a blank drive, then install ALL the updates, before you make any changes or install anything else. ;)

Or even better, just stick with a customised fine-tuned OS3.1 installation. Isn't that right Mike? :)

I fine-tune my stuff to the nth degree!  Back in the '90s I would edit each and every icon for pixel-perfect precision, color, and alignment, and smallest file size.  I would stay up till 4am just fixing icons!  Had that sh1t down to an art, part of my OCD, I suppose.  Don't have time for that anymore though, but I do still anxiously watch Aminet for any updates to any of the libraries I use!  :D

The Amiga is beautiful, for the myriad ways it can be customized.  I still tell that to anyone who will listen, even today.  ;)

OS 3.9 FE? Haha. A shame it cannot happen.

That, sir, would be a fantastic idea.  ;)
