Default How many of you are still using AmigaOS 3.x ?
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'm using AmigaOS 3.9 right now. That's what I use >90% of the time when I'm at home.

However, I just ordered a Sam + OS4.1 from AmigaKit yesterday. So my 3.9 days might soon see an end.

Most recently used and most often used "Amiga" here is Amiga Forever which is 3.X per Cloanto.

Less often used real Amigas have 3.1 on the 1200/030/50 and 3.5 on the 2000/060 with Cds not yet used to go 3.9.

Can't do 4.0 until get a PPC.

I use 3.1 on my stock (non accelerated) A2000 every day. I am hoping to get an Accelerator soon and make the jump to 3.9. Amigakit.comm is out of 3.9 right now anyways.

@All

True revival of OS3.9 is expected when Natami hits the market.....

So we should not write it off...

I'm using AmigaOS 3.9 as my main OS. I also use MorphOS quite frequently. Both running on an Amiga 1200.

I use 3.9 on an *almost daily* basis...
I even have a 3.1 partition to boot from, just for the
odd app/game.
That's what I run on my desktop A1200-030.

I don't use any of my Amigas as my maincomputer, but all of them use either 3.9 (1200 & 2000) or 3.1 (3000). Works well and they get to be used quite regularly.

@Voyager74
There are no game incompatibilities with AOS 3.9 to my knowledge. As for Apps/utils, i can only think of ARQ. Visage still works, but it has to be started from CLI or something. I read that ImageFX had some minor problems but they have been fixed, iirc.

@A4000_Mad
Why do you use OS3.0 on your A1200s? :-)

I do have an A1200 Desktop with OS3.9 but my first 1200's with 170MB and 800MB HDD's are still on 3.0. It's nice to switch them on and see what I was up to back then. I don't particularly like 3.0 but it's part of my Amiga history and will be staying in them :-)
