How many of you are still using AmigaOS 3.x ?
« on: November 12, 2008, 06:06:13 AM »
Hi.
 I was wondering how many of you are still using AmigaOS 3.x (Preferably 3.9) as their main OS, or boot from their 3.x partition at least twice a week.
 Please reply only if you use it for purposes other than just gaming. :-)

I'm using AmigaOS 3.9 right now.  That's what I use >90% of the time when I'm at home.

However, I just ordered a Sam + OS4.1 from AmigaKit yesterday.  So my 3.9 days might soon see an end. :)

 Most recently used and most often used "Amiga" here is Amiga Forever which is 3.X per Cloanto.

 Less often used real Amigas have 3.1 on the 1200/030/50 and 3.5 on the 2000/060 with Cds  not yet used  to go 3.9.

 Can't do 4.0 until get a PPC.

I use 3.1 on my stock (non accelerated) A2000 every day. I am hoping to get an Accelerator soon and make the jump to 3.9. Amigakit.comm is out of 3.9 right now anyways.
I have Amiga stuff for sale at http://amigalounge.com. You can follow my builds there also.

@All

True revival of OS3.9 is expected when Natami hits the market.....

So we should not write it off...

I'm using AmigaOS 3.9 as my main OS. I also use MorphOS quite frequently. Both running on an Amiga 1200.

I use 3.9 on an *almost daily* basis...
I even have a 3.1 partition to boot from, just for the
odd app/game.
That's what I run on my desktop A1200-030.

I don't use any of my Amigas as my maincomputer, but all of them use either 3.9 (1200 & 2000) or 3.1 (3000). Works well and they get to be used quite regularly.

Yep! OS3.9 being used by the main machine in my avatar :-)

Also using OS3.1 & WarpOS in A4000/PPC and have OS3.0 in A1200 Desktops.

@Voyager74
 There are no game incompatibilities with AOS 3.9 to my knowledge. As for Apps/utils, i can only think of ARQ. Visage still works, but it has to be started from CLI or something. I read that ImageFX had some minor problems but they have been fixed, iirc.

@A4000_Mad
 Why do you use OS3.0 on your A1200s?  :-)

I do have an A1200 Desktop with OS3.9 but my first 1200's with 170MB and 800MB HDD's are still on 3.0. It's nice to switch them on and see what I was up to back then. I don't particularly like 3.0 but it's part of my Amiga history and will be staying in them :-)
