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 use 3.9.

It runs 24 hours a day 365 a year as I host several websites on it.  Think I have 3 domain names pointed to it.  Gotta love hserv!!

I use OS 3.9 +powerup.
I have only A1200
Mediator 4xpci
blizzardpc 040/210 :lol:

Mostly use 4.1 now but do use 3.9 from time to time.
Have a TV card in a Mediator which I use for importing stuff from a digicam.

I'm glad to see that there are people who actively use the classic AmigaOS like myself! It is as lightweight as an OS can be. It's fast and responsive even on slow CPUs and, if heavily patched, quite usable and fun to use.

 At the same time though, i feel sad that when i look at the current status of the classic scene, i see an almost dead body. I'm not talking about the development of the OS itself of course, i'm talking about the drop of support from developers who are still around but decided to go OS4/MOS/AROS, exclusively.
 I understand that things need to move on etc, etc, but do you think that AOS3.x deserved to die in favour of these NG OSes or that it deserves to be supported in parallel to those with backports (see AFA_OS) and simultaneous 68k builds? (see Jahc and a few others that i don't recall their names right now) Yes, i do know that the second is not always possible due to missing or outdated OS components.
 A rather rhetorical question for this thread. I know...

I'm still using OS  3.1 with Scalos 1.2d on my a1200 and a2000 and OS 3.9 on my a3000T.

I use OS3.9 on my main computer, for internet, chat, games, mp3, burning cd's, and so on.

I look forward to owning a SAM with AOS4.1, but I'll keep my other miggys :-)

Of course I have a peecee, mostly because my webbank needs windoze, and for some websites that IBrowse can't handle.

You might want to review the links on your site, most of the ones I clicked were 404.

I have to say that i dont use my A1200 with OS3.9 so much anymore, and the reason is that i now use my minimig for retro gaming and i try to do all the rest with my SAM and OS4.1

Well, if this works, I have just got my OS3.5 A1200 online after 8
years :pint:

Congrats as it has worked Homer :pint:

I've only just got Broadband myself and have used something called an ethernet lead for the first time ever :oops: :-D

Yeah, I'll fire up an old 3000 or UAE quite often to play an old game that's familiar.  It's comfort food for the mind.  But as a "main machine?"  Nope, this is 2008 not 1988...

I use only 3.9 on my new (old stock) A1200 from AmigaKit and it gets used for gaming and game development.

I'm still trying to configure/patch it to my liking but it's getting there :-D

Would love to get a SAM but not enough $$$ in the piggy  :-(

[amigau]

yes, acknowledged - I am trying to allocate some time to revisit that and add new ones too - thanks for the reminder...

Happily using OS 3.5 for my gaming (WHDLoad!) and music making er make that hacking :-D

[Seaquest]

I'm using my A4000/060 3.9BB2 as my main OS everyday

Used to run OS4.0 on my A1 but that crappy HW died so back to real AMIGA's :-D
