Trouble in OS version

[Franko]

Hello.

I have just discovered that my A1200 runs OS 3.0 (version 39.29) while i believed it to use 3.1. This old system, hosted on an internal drive that i passed over from my A600 to my 1200 a few yaers ago, is full of patchs and programs and is associated with the kick 3.1 (version 40.68).
As all is working fine, i hesitate to pass it to 3.1 by reinstalling over my system because of possible conflicts that might occur.
It is so much patched anyway that i do not know what could be the real difference with OS 3.1.
What should i do? Is there any specific file that i could update to get the real 3.1?

Not quite clear about what your set up is here, are the roms 3.0 or 3.1
The only difference real difference between OS 3.0 and 3.1 are some of the system files are updated and some extra functions mainly to the libs in the roms.

You can run OS3.0 on 3.1 roms, the only disadvantage you'll have, is if you try to use progs that take advantage of the extra functions in the 3.1 roms. They will either not work, partialy work or just crash.

I'll post a list here as soon as i can, it's mostly the files in C: and Libs:
but I'll make a list out for you.

Right now I'm in the middle of installing a new DVD Burner, so I'll have to finish that up first.

Check later for the list, unless someone else out there can do it for you now.

Cheers :drink:

Great! Thanks! I am looking forward to read this list

Hi Xanxi

Sorry I couldn't reply sooner, (ran into lots of probs with that DVD Burner !)...

Anyway, here's that list I promised. The only major updates to files from OS3.0 to 3.1 were.

C:Avail,ConClip,Copy,Iprefs,Mount,Protect,Search, SetPatch,Version
L:Porthandler
Libs:AmigaGuide.library,Asl.Library,Commodities.library,DataTypes.Library,IFFPasre.library,Locale.Library,Version.library

Almost all of the files in Prefs: were updated slightly, but as I said before you can run OS3.0 without any probs on KS 3.1, you'll only run into problems when trying to use progs that were written to specifically use these versions of libs or were written to use specific versions in the kickstart roms.

Hope this was the info you were looking for...

Cheers :drink:
