Pieter,

You really don't need a removal tool just patience and common sense. I myself really use a screwdriver with a very small tip, you can buy them at the GAMMA or PRAXIS.

When you want to remove the chip just put it in the end of the chip and it will come loose, then do it on the other side until it is fully lifted out of it's socket.

Nothing fancy about that.

For every job, a PRAXIS job.
That's what I said, GAMMA

Thanks, I just want to be precaution with fragile objects.

 :-D

thanks Henk

Banktransfers from one EU country to another should not cost one penny more then a banktransfer within your country. That is defined by EU law. Some banks still "offer" the old way of transfering and it is perfectly legal for them to charge this much, but upon request they should make a standard EU-transfer with no additional costs. Any hornest bank should handle it like that right away without you specially requesting it.

[amiga4001]

Yes that is right.
I never payed a penny with all my banktransfers.
That is several to germany(vesalia) a few to France(Amiga repair center).
You should contact your bank what is causing this issue.
The only way it will cost you extra is if you put extra "speed" on it.
This is an extra service and will cost you extra.

What was I thinking? (Did my brains ever work anyway?)

It never occured to me that I had to deal with international costs, untill I saw the overview of my bankaccount.:-o
I will ask my bank why they charge that much, and I will let them explain to me how I can do business without charges!

Thanks for the warning/suggestions.

Today they have arrived! Yeah!
What?
The kickstart roms 3.1 I ordered by Vesalia.de
Nice and well packed and unharmed!

OK! now what?

I will replace the roms later this week or month.
(I have a short holiday ahead next week)

What can  (or should)I expect when I have replaced the 3.0 with the 3.1?

I have this (english) manual of WB 3.0. Will this still be enought to know?
What are the new applicatons I have to know/see?

PLease inform me.

 :-?

[Doppie1200]

Now nothing! Just update your sig and be cool!

No seriously, you could replace your WB 3.0 with a 3.1 install. The leap is not that much and I doubt it would be worth it. You could also opt for installing 3.9 on your system.

Edit: you'll need workbench 3.1 disks. You got those, do you?

No, I don't
Will this give a problem?

Is there a copy available on Aminet or something like that?

If you pay electronically (I use Postbank and Rabobank accounts) you just have to go to the "betalen buitenland" (pay abroad in english) option, and fill in the IBAN code and SWIFT/BIC code that is provided on Vesalia's page. Doesn't cost you one single eurocent.

Cheers,
Eric
