AmigaOS 3.X vs 3.9
« on: January 08, 2016, 01:25:34 AM »
I'm about to resurrect my A3000/CSMK2060/Deneb machine which has OS3.9 with all BoingBags upto BB4 installed.

I was wondering are any of the updated individual components from Cloanto's OS3.X or Kickstart 3.X worth grabbing and copying over to 3.9?

I installed the latest BB4, icon library and shell-update.

Saw this on the Amiga forever page.

Quote
The current 3.X ROM (45.061) builds on the original 40.068 ROM components, featuring the following improvements:

    Patches originally released under the ESCOM and Gateway Amiga ownership (no SetPatch or reboot required)
    scsi.device and exec.library updates by Alexander Benedictov, Chris Hodges, Heinz Wrobel and Toni Wilen
    expansion.library fixes by Jeff Weeks
    FastFileSystem fixes by Etienne Vogt
    mathieeesingbas.library fixes by Harry "Piru" Sintonen

Support for Disks Larger than 4 GB

The scsi.device updates included in the 3.X ROM make it possible to boot from disks larger than 4 GB. Additional elements, such as FastFileSystem 45.9 and Installer 44.10, are included in the Classic Support Workbench 3.1 distribution, and complement the ROM-based enhancements.


Might have a play and see what is worth nabbing.
