If your a1200 is stable id recommend NOT to install these bb3 and 4.

Why spread baseless FUD? A system with BB4 is more stable than one with BB2, not less, due to the number of known BB2 bugs that have been fixed. Some of the initial beta releases had issues but this was a long time ago, recent versions are very stable. There are hundreds of users who can testify to this.

Hey Brian, this is the download location recommended by EAB

Actually that location is just a mirror and sometimes is not the latest version. Official release page is http://amigan.1emu.net/releases/

So minous are you going to apologize to me for saying i'm spreading FUD or what?

No, I still haven't received a proper bug report from you or anyone else. How am I expected to organize a fix for the issue with such a vague and unhelpful "bug report" as this? Especially when I very likely did not code the component in question and don't even have source to most components. With a non-existent bug report I would not even know whether I had fixed the user's problem or not. If a bug can't be reproduced and isolated then it can't be fixed.

BTW you have incorrectly quoted me, I didn't say you were "trolling", I assume(d) you said what you said in good faith and just didn't consider the possible damage that could be caused. If you don't want to use it, don't, but better not to make silly statements in public forums if you couldn't even be bothered to lodge a bug report. I'm not even talking about a formal bug report, just enough info for me to investigate the issue.

The fact that supposedly it "doesn't work" on one person's system doesn't mean it's not worth installing for the 99% of users that have not had any issues with it. Obviously I don't have a huge test lab with every different configuration of Amiga available and thus rely to an extent on bug reports. IIRC there were even issues with the official BB2 ROM Update not working on certain Amigas.

If I suddenly started going around in public forums saying "OS4 doesn't work", and refusing to give specifics so that the issue could be resolved, would you then expect Hyperion to apologize to me? I suspect I'd be more likely to see a libel suit from them than an apology in that case, and with good reason.
