OS 3.2 - Is it the cause of all my problems?

[sheepz]

Hi

I am getting back into using my amaigas and have now built the A4000D of my dreams and keeping my 1200 in its original from factor.

The plan was to have the A1200 for all the classic gaming (with a TF1260 and a Gotec and CF card in the PRMICIA slot for transferring stuff to it). While the A4000D with its graphics card, sound card and 060 and USB for some more serious stuff.

The problem is, with even a basic OS 3.2 install I have problems on both machines from gettin the USB to work to games not crashing all the time. Should I go back to the 3.1 roms and just work from there as thats what most of the HD images online seem to be?

I seem to be good at building my amigas, but its seems to be nothing but software issues for me, and any time I ask for help, the answer seems to be to go back to 3.1 and remove all the upgrades 

Thanks

Thanks for all the replies, looks like its time to try the finally update tonight, and if still having issues, I will go to a complete 3.1 install on my 1200 as its just for games, and persevere with 3.2 on my A4000D

Cheers

For me it was only when I installed a clean OS3.2 (with OS3.2 roms) installation that all my nagging issues disappeared.
I recommend you take your system down to the motherboard and then slowly reinstall your cards in an attempt to pinpoint the source (s) of your issues

Thanks, that's the problem, I have done that with both my A4000D and A1200 and still have issues from loading games on my Gotek to WHDload. To not being able to install the Freepro USB software to just not being able to boot.

I will try again with my Amigas but I think for most compatibility and gaming (witch the 1200 will be for) I will go back to 3.1 if I have issues.

I have removed these new versions from all my systems. I still use OS3.9.

I know it's problems and it doesn't do dirty tricks to me.

Thanks for the reply, I am building a A1200 into an old tower I have. Since OS3.9 came out in my glory days of amiga ownership (and I still have a copy) cam you advise in doing a install and things to look out for?

Thanks again
