scsi.device from 4.1 works with 3.9?

but 3.9 installation missed icons, libraries, and probably more without any errors during the installation

I had a problem with 3.9 once that was missing files, this was due to a dodgy CD.  Possible to try a different installation media?  Although AFAIR it did throw errors when it encountered scratches on the CD...

Maybe it is a BB1 media?

They didn't make a "BB1" media, just an initial release and a "SE", with some fixes to the installer script.  Source:  http://www.gregdonner.org/os39faq/installtips.html#17

It may be of some help to you, if you can get through my rambling.  ;)

Have fun!  :)

:D

I swear by the 3.9 ERD personally, although the Cloanto disks might work if they also have CD drivers (to detect the 3.9 CD in the drive) and an updated HDToolbox (to prep the new HD).

The changelog for BB 3/4 is all out there in the open, it's not like it does some "big secret thing" to somehow screw up people's machines.  IMHO most of the people who have trouble with it are because they have a system that's been running 3.9 + BB1 & 2 for years, then try installing 3/4 over top of that.  You've got all different versions of stuff from god-only-knows-where, that's a problem.  But doing a fresh install of 3.9 immediately followed by 1, then 2, then 3/4, like the authors intended, shouldn't give you any problems.

G'nite!  :)

I figured that I would share the fruits of our labor here.

Nice setup!  Lots of good modern hardware goodness in there.  :)

I see you have one of those new MNT graphics cards.  Guy who's making them recently posted on Facebook that he's about to produce another batch.  How do you like it?  Are you using something like a Ratte monitor switch to switch between the output of the card and your Indivision?
