kickstart and workbench versions

[kamiga]

Machine's is an A500.

If Workbench.....about (and version at the cmd prompt) says

Kickstart 39.106
Workbench 40.23

Which versions of those are they?  I think this is Kickstart 3.0. And I think Workbench might be 3.x something.

I haven't look at this stuff in 10 years.

Thanks

This should help.

You've got WB 3.1 running on Kickstart 3.0.

EDIT: You've got an unusual configuration, though, since the 500 doesn't usually have plain Kickstart 3.0.

Thanks for the info, Matt.

While I know this could be a personal question and up to debate, what's the generally acceptable stable choice of Kickstart and Workbench for a VXL-30 accelerated (68030 w/ fpu), 2mb fast/1mb chip, HD-based Amiga 500?

I don't want any OS that's going to eat up a lot of memory, or one that is too old to support any new(er) generation apps.

What's a good compromise here?  What do most people run on similar A500's ?

Thanks

kamiga, I'd say OS/WB 3.1 is going to be great for your setup. If you add more memory, then you could also go up to OS/WB 3.5 and 3.9.
