CDs and Internet work just fine with Kickstart 3.0. That is, download CD-ROM drivers and networking software from Aminet or buy it separately. It is just that with OS 3.9 you have everything on one CD but other than that OS 3.9 is pretty much useless to you.

CD-ROM (and CDs in general) is pretty much dead these days, indeed.


What planet are you on? CD-ROM is still the standard format for software along with DVD
CD's are the standard for music.
Am I missing something here? The only time you wouldn't need CD is when using free downloadable software
Religion is for people who believe in hell.
Spirituality is for people who have been there.

at the time I was softkicking 3.0 on my A2000 but I only ever considered it a stopgap for 3.1.

I have to admit I didn't have a specific reason to move to 3.1. To me it just felt like 3.0 was some sort of beta while 3.1 was the finished product.

With an 020 or 030, 3.1 is the end of the road - 3.5/9 should only be considered when using an 040 or better 060.

Hope this helps

I use 3.9 on my 030/40 with AGA no problems
As long as you got the 030 and plenty of fast RAM you are fine
