- I have been away from my old A3000 for a few years and was thinking about
- pulling it out and firing it up again. I had bought a 486/66 PC running OS/2
- Warp and lots of apps.
-
- I would like to know a few things:
-
- 1. What updates are appropriate for my A3000/16? New buster (rev 11?), Amiga
- OS v3.1? Any other chips or software patches?
-
- 2. Were the RKM's ever updated to v3.1. I have the old 2.1 version.
-
- 3. The last SAS/C compiler I have is version 6.51. Any newer updates? Where
- do you get them from (since SAS/C is not being sold anymore)? Will SAS/C 6.51
- work underAmiga OS v3.1?
-
- 4. Is DICE still being sold/supported. Has it been updated to OS v3.1?
-
- 5. Where do I get OS v3.1 programming manuals, libraries, includes?
-
- 6. What processor board upgrades (ie: fast 68030 or 68040) are available for
- an A3000?
-
-
- Thanks for any info. I am reading the amiga newsgroups and am slowly catching
- up. I have heard that Commodore was sold to AT, Amigas will be sold in USA
- again, CyberVision64 is THE graphics board, Emplant now has 586 emulation,
- and Amiga World magazine is no more.
