OS 3.9

Hi,

You can't run OS3.9 from floppy!!!

Also, it's supplied on CD, so while you don't technically need a CD-ROM drive to install it, you at least need some way of getting it on to an Amiga hard drive.

To do it justice, you need a 68040 or 68060, 32Mb+ RAM and an RTG graphics card.

IMHO, you're better off sticking with 3.1 if you're on an '030 or less, and especially if you're using stock AGA or ECS graphics. A lot of enhancements to 3.1 can be made using free software from Aminet.

OK, it might be technically possible to get it to run, but why would anyone want to do that??! :crazy:

OS3.1 was the last designed to run from floppies as well as the HDD. In any case, running any version of AmigaOS from floppy is a pain and a bit impractical to do anything serious with.

Also, OS3.5 and 3.9 have become quite a bit larger than the almost minimalist stock 3.1 installation. You'd be looking at quite a few floppies!!!
