Help with A1200 OS3.9 Upgrade Please
« on: December 31, 2004, 03:47:35 PM »
Hi -

I'm trying to upgrade my A1200 for internet use.
It looks like upgrading the OS is a good idea to
the new OS 3.9.  I imagine I need to do the following
but have a few questions.

1) With OS 3.9 do I need to buy Miami DX and I-Browse?
2) How to best add a CD-ROM to an A-1200?

My system has a GVP 1230+ board with 4 meg RAM.  It also has the GVP 1291 SCSI adapter with external DB25 adapter SCSI 1.  I've got an external SCSI drive hooked-up allready.
Can I just buy a CD-ROM from E-bay and loop it in?  Do I need any special CD-Rom drivers to operate the drive?  Is there special software like Nero (for PC) to actually burn disks?

Thanks for any help?

Hi -

Well, I guess I will do the following:
1) Purchase some more GVP RAM from Software Hut
2) Purchase OS 3.9 and ROMS from the same place
3) Get a SCSI CD from E-Bay

I've got a 6 Gig HD that I'll put into the A1200
and format it fresh.

Any other tips or suggestions?
