I would like somebody to come up with an example of when they have needed to "roll back" a device driver on AmigaOS... I know I've never needed to do this (and it is under most circumstances just a case of copying one file anyway, so not exactly rocket science)

If you think Amiga's just have "one file" that needs to be changed or replaced back, then there is some history that you need to be filled in on..


Okay, calm down.  Perhaps my message could have been clearer that it was in my experience.  The problems come when you try to add hardware which weren't envisaged by the OS designers.  These ultimately have more than a couple of files and are rather hacky.  Everything else, you should find only comprises of a couple of files.  If hacks and patches are preventing the drivers from working, that's not really the OS's fault, is it?  And this is easily solved by not running the hack or patch that is interfering.

That's my last comment on the matter, as I can tell I'm going to get flamed for suggesting people stop running their oh-so-essential really-nasty-and-unstable hacks and patches.  I run some too, but they are the first thing to go when other stuff stops working.
