how compatible is os 3.9 with os 3.1 stuff. i'm thinking about games only really. do i still need an os 3.1 partition? i can't remember.

Imo it's highly compatible. No problems at all for me. If a game runs with 3.1, it will be very unlikely it won't run under 3.9. Especially when they are disk-based, ofcourse, while they bypass the entire installed OS, whether that be 1.x, 2.x or 3.x.

what security and confidence do you have in os 3.9 online? are we in a linux "no need for virus scanner position?"

OS3.9 is quite possibly the ultimate 'security through obscurity' OS around.

The OS itself is by design not secure, but as it lacks almost all modern points of attack and isn't capable to run any Windows of Linuxsoftware, this is not a real problem. The only viruses you have to fear are the bog-standard Amigaviruses from the good old days.
