Sounds good to me. But in fact I can't really judge it, as I didn't run in
any trouble doing all the updates from CGX 3 to the latest CGX 4.2 prerelease.
But one thing should be stated here:
The BVision doesn't have any kind of throughput for the native video
signal!!!
You just can see the boot menus and the shell via the BVision because of
a neat hack used in the flashrom software. It is not possible to see
native Amiga video modes via the BVision.
I do mention this here because I could read such a thing several times over
the last weeks.

Amiga 1200, AmigaOS 3.5, BlizzardPPC 603e+ 240 MHz/68040 40 MHz, BVision, 96 MB FastRAM
