ROM Version = 3.1 $0028003C (40.60)
DoIO = $00F80906
CBump = $00F824EE
TrackIO = $00FC529E
Interrupt 1 = $00F8116C
Interrupt 2 = $00F811C4
Interrupt 3 = $00F81204
Interrupt 4 = $00F8125C
Interrupt 5 = $00F812FC
Interrupt 6 = $00F81346
Interrupt 7 = $00F832AA
- Olaf Barthel notes: "as far as I know today, V40.60 was used in the CD32. It was the only operating system version that ever shipped with the CD32, there were no further updates to it." He does note however, that this information was difficult to verify.
- The CD32 did not come with Workbench 3.1 on CD-ROM. Thomas Kessler & Ross Vumbaca confirm that their CD32 units did not come with a Workbench CD-ROM; only with games and demo CD's.
