AmigaOS 2.1 updates/patches recomendations

[walkero]

These days I set up an A500+ that I had, with an A590 installed. Today I managed to make an external SCSI CDRom to work with it just fine, so I have a great way to copy stuff in it.

The AmigaOS v2.1 which is installed in the hard disk works great. The roms of the system are the 2.04. Also, I did all the chip upgrades of the A590 roms and the scsi chip, to the latest available. So it seems to work just great.

Until now I installed the following software:
- AmiCDFS 2.40 from aminet
- HDInstall the latest from aminet
- WHDLoad 16.9
and a few games.

So, I would like to ask, what patches/updates do you recommend to do. I am not talking about hardware upgrades, but only software. Which Filesystem do you recommend, and which FFS update can I perform on that? Also, should I use alternative icons or MagicWB?

Any ideas are more than welcome.

@mfilos
Thank you for your reply. I'm not sure which FS should I use. I'm going to receive an other HD I bought recently, where I intend to do a few tests. I will try PFS3, SFS and FFS upd.

I'm also asking about software that fix bugs of AmigaOS 2.1 or enchance the usage, without consuming too much memory, because we are talking about a computer with 1MB Chip and 2MB Fast ram.

You are more than right about SFS. So, SFS is out of my tests. How about FFS? which version do you believe that would work on that? I will test the 43.20 in case it works. I believe that after this one I could perform extra patches.

I saw the PFS3 for 68k 1.3 only, but I have a 2.04 rom and I am thinking to use the full PFS3 version. It might increase the whdload game load too.

Today I got the 1GB hard disk and I intent to test it tonight. I am thinking to separate it in three partitions. System, Games and Programs (Music, Mods, DPaint etc).

I will make a few speed tests of the hard disk too. I let you know about the results of the tests.
