-
- I believe that this rumour came about when someone tried to use the A4000 3.1 in
- an A1200 - obviously, the A4000 not having a PCMCIA slot, the ROMs knew nothing about
- the slot so it would not work.
-
- However, 3.1 ROMs are available for A500, 600, 1200, 1500, 2000, 3000 and 4000
- (dunno abut the 1000), and work fine in their respective machines.
-
- BTW, the new A1200 come with OS3.1, so it must work fine...
-
-
- Hope this helps,

- Keith.
-
- P.S. To answer the next inevitable question, yes you can run WB3.1 on KS3.0 -
- I have done it and all is well.
