I ran 3.1 workbench with a 3.0 ROM for a while, nd it was fine. Someone can probably point out exact differences. some hardware may take the 3.1 ROM's.

3.9 includes a lot of patches, extra software and other bits. It takes extra RAM and I believe at least an 020.

Okay, thanks everyone, that explains a bit..


By the way, regarding 020
This only upgrades the memory right? Been looking at accelerators on amigakit, and correct me if I am mistaking but 020 card runs at 16mhz it says, and this is the same speed as 1200 runs on?

And if I would upgrade, where can I get a hold of wb 3.9 to try it out? Can it/does it have to be bought? Or can it leagly be downloaded today?



The specific card amigakit sells.... yes. It mostly just gives you more RAM.
You can get 020 processors at higher speeds, but 030's are more common to find.

For 3.9, you do have to buy it, unless you resort to a torrent. Not sure if it's available from any retailer or if you have to go second hand.

yeah, Id go for ClassicWB over 3.9 as well. Just more fully featured and much less trouble.
