Ahh yes... Amiga OS 3.9...

Firstly I prefer the name WORKBENCH... secondly, you pay 50GBP to have your machine reset itself every time you switch it on, delay SCSI initialisation by 10 seconds, be incompatible with a lot of your favourite patches and tools, be an arse with your hardware and ooooh...

I need my pills.

Isn't having two seperate partitions with two seperate Workbench revisions a little complicated? I mean if you have another partition with your Wordworth or another with your emulators... what OS partition do they look into for C: Libs: MUI: etc.?

They'd be looking in SYS: and could be loading the wrong library or even not finding it at all!

Also, I could never work out why my A1200 was shipped with 2x 3.0 ROMs and a CD32 of the same era was shipped with 1x 3.1 ROM.

Maybe Leirbag28/CD32Freak could shed some light...

:-)

Wouldn't it be better all round to get a hot swap caddy for the 5.25" drive bay?

Another thought would be this - how many PC users do you think spend most of their time working on AmigaOS emulated through WinUAE?

I've heard also that you can run UAE on a Sony PSP handheld - if so has anyone here got info? There's something odd on eBay right now:
