Thechnically, you can run the Flyer Beta... but it's buggy right now.
3.5 is the latest released Toaster verion -- a $550 upgrade shoulf be
released in a month or two when NewTek finally (!) finihses the Flyer and
Toaster 4.0 upgrades. That includes LightWave 4.0, new CG, new TPaint,
and completly re-worked switcher. Pretty nice...

For some stupid reason, NewTek isn't recognizing WB 3.1 as an OFFICIAL
upgrade except on the A4000s ESCOM is shipping, so they claim they will
not support it except on A4000s. i have had no trouble with my
Toaster/Flyer system and Workbench 3.1. For some it work, for some it
doesn't. Just remember that if you call NewTek Tech and say "I have
WB3.1", they'll say the problem you are having is with the OS, no matter
what it is. Just don't say that. :)
Good luck!
