Interesting. According to this site, Workbench 3.0 on CD-ROM doesn't exist:

Click on the CD32 icon. It's there.


Ah yes, I didn't read the small print. Still, it was never released by Commodore.

Notes/comments: 1.Chris Young notes that Workbench 3.0 was supplied on CD-ROM for the SX32 by Eyetech Group Ltd.
2.Ronald van Dijk notes that a Workbench 3.0 CD-ROM has been—and still is—being sold by Vesalia. This CD contains files from the original Workbench 3.0 disk and some additional files for the CD32. In total, the CD contains 1MB of data, and does not appear to have been officially released by Commodore or Amiga Inc., but by an unknown German company.
3.Jan Erik Olausen notes that a friend owns a CD32 with ROM version 40.60. The output is posted below:


ROM Version = 3.1 $0028003C (40.60)

DoIO    = $00F80906
CBump   = $00F824EE
TrackIO = $00FC529E

Interrupt 1 = $00F8116C
Interrupt 2 = $00F811C4
Interrupt 3 = $00F81204
Interrupt 4 = $00F8125C
Interrupt 5 = $00F812FC
Interrupt 6 = $00F81346
Interrupt 7 = $00F832AA


4.Olaf Barthel notes: "as far as I know today, V40.60 was used in the CD32. It was the only operating system version that ever shipped with the CD32, there were no further updates to it." He does note however, that this information was difficult to verify.
5.The CD32 did not come with Workbench 3.1 on CD-ROM. Thomas Kessler & Ross Vumbaca confirm that their CD32 units did not come with a Workbench CD-ROM; only with games and demo CD's.
6.ROM Chip PN: 391640-02 (v40.56), 391640-03 (v40.60)
