Good to see that your B1260/SCS-Kit is up and running.
Booting without the startup-sequence was suggested to
you, though.
Recently I did a complete overhaul of one of my
machines, installing Amiga OS 3.9 from scratch.
With SnoopDOS running in the background in order to
guide me, I then added the necessary 3rd party support
files, ie: libraries, devices, etc.
I remember people running Amiga OS 3.0 long after
Commodore went bust, although the final release
(with lots of bugfixes) was 3.1. We are now in a
similar situation. The importance of 3.9 over 3.5
is not the bonus programs but getting bugs fixed.
Also you could go to Harry Sintonens web site and
download archives like BlizKick, Exec_44, etc.
There are people here with similar machines to yours
using his utilities, so if in doubt about anything,
just ask us :-)
