stay with OS 3.1 or update to 3.5?
« on: January 30, 2006, 04:06:10 AM »
Ok, Im about to install a Cyberstorm PPC into my Amiga 4000D I already have an IDE 4gig drive in it but once I have my Cyberstorm I will be using the SCSI and installing a 9gig drive.
I have a 4000Toaster Flyer system already running and I will be reinstalling it onto the SCSI drive. My main question is do I upgrade to OS3.5 or should I just leave it at 3.1

Thanks for the info,

Decisions, decisions...I have OS 3.5 but just do not want to start having problems with rebooting and crashing of the system. OS 3.1 has always run smooth for me and I have never updated anything from the original install years ago.

I will just have to partition my new SCSI drive into smaller sections so I can use it with 3.1 as from what I remember 3.1 dosent see larger then about 800mb drives.

Hmmmm, I did not know you could have two different OS's installed. I think this is getting a bit more complicated then I want it to be as I do not know how to do this. I do not want to reformat my old drive as there are many files that I need to keep for when I reinstall the toaster onto the new SCSI.
