Amiga 2000 Technical Question

[motrucker]

I don't think there is a 3.0 ROM for the A2000 (same as the A500) so just go for the 3.1. The 3.1 kills a few bugs that 3.0 had anyway - it's a better setup by far.
I have an A2000 with very similar specs, except that it runs OS 3.5 and larger hard drives. I use that for graphics work, DTP, and of course the occasional game.
BTW - do not loose that dongle in the joystick port. It may be needed for software already on your hard drive!

If I boot to the hard drive then use the WB 3.1 disk sets to upgrade will it over write the current version of work bench and leave the hard drive mounting sequence intact? I am afraid of accidently messing up the SCSI drivers for the hard drive when doing the upgrade.

Upgrading to 3.1 will not mess up your SCSI setup, or anything else. It will only replace the old workbench with the newer 3.1. Actually you will start by booting from the 3.1 floppy disk "Install" first, than just follow the prompts. It's a snap.
The only difference installing 3.5 is that you must already have a CD-ROM drive setup. I don't like 3.9, because it eats so darned much RAM.

What I told you will work fine - IF - you have the 3.1 ROM installed. None of that will mess up you setup however. Good luck
Go ahead and upgrade! 3.1 will make it much more user friendly setup, and it will still play games, and serious applications. Any old games that don't want to run on 3.1, just run Degrader and they will work.
