Kickstart 3.9 doesn't officially exists but the newer modules from OS3.9's BB2 "AmigaOS ROM Update" that resides in Devs folder can be used to replace the older Kickstart 3.1 modules to form it.

These modules are the following:



Using these instead of the 3.1 ones (as I wrote to my guide) will grant you a Kickstart 3.9 ROM that you can use it via kicking it (like for example with ACA accelerator's ACATune utility) or burn it into real 1MB EPROMS and mount it on your Amiga replacing the former Kickstart 3.1.

It works just fine and I've been using many of those for years :)

Can you try this for me on your system:

Hold two mouse buttons down on boot.  Boot with no startup. Type LoadWB in the shell window.  Tell me what happens?

Ok i tested this on my WinUAE test environment on an ClassicWB 68k installation...

This is ClassicWB 68k with 3.1 Kickstart loaded...



This is ClassicWB 68k with my generic 3.9 BB2 Kickstart loaded...



This is where I selected "Boot without Startup Sequence"



This is where I type "LoadWB" in the Shell window



...and here is WB3.1 loaded but with limited capabilities and colors since nothing from the normal Startup-Sequence was loaded.



Under my OS3.9 clone environment installation in WinUAE, either clicking "Boot without Startup-Sequence" or not... always loads the full system. Weird... but dunno :)
