@Red_eye

Sounds nice :-)

The one piece of software advice I would give is to get OS3.9 and the required Kickstart 3.1 ROMs to go with it. Aside from a few cosmetic enhancements, the OS has come a way since 3.0 / 3.1 including (but not limited to)

Bugfixes

Support for large drives (also available for 3.1 with the appropriate patches)

Better support for graphic cards

Asynchronous copy / delete operations from Workbench (quite how it took until 3.9 to implement this I've no idea)

Tons of functionality previously only available trhough 3rd party hacks/patches, such as NewIcon / DefIcons etc. etc.

Anyway, assuming the battery is OK you should have a lot of fun :-)
