- Not at all... ...there's quite a gap between 2.1 and 3.0. 2.1 basically only
- adds AmigaGuide, CrossDOS, internationalization, the icon-based Devs, and
- sound prefs, while 3.0 also has MultiView, DataTypes, AGA support, new video
- prefs, a vastly improved layers library, faster fd & hd access/transfer even
- with FFS, and a lot more (I don't have any tech docs).
