With a 3.0 ROM you would be best off with a hard drive of 4GB or less, or using a bigger drive and only using 4GB of it.

If you have an Amiga operating system on CD then it's probably 3.5 or 3.9, right? If so then you will need some more RAM in your Amiga before running it.

You can run 3.1 on 3.0 ROMs apparently (never tried it myself). If you want to go any higher than 3.1 then you do need the 3.1 ROM chips.

This is something I should really know the answer to, but do filesystems like PFS/SFS/AFS allow >4GB partitions even on OS<3.5? If so, what was changed in 3.5 to allow >4GB partitions? (I assume they updated scsi.device or fastfilesystem, but I'm not sure).
