Best workbench setup for Amiga 4000?

Hey all,

I've recently come into owning an Amiga 4000/040, and I was wondering what one of these OS packs would be good? I used the ClassicWB LITE on my A1200 and it worked well. I'm not sure how well the 4000 would handle the better ones, as I'm unfamiliar with anything better than a 020 and 2mb RAM!

The A4000 has an Apollo Turbo 4040 - 4060 (040 fitted), and 18mb of RAM (I should properly check, could be more). I'll put a CF card SSD in it instead of the clunky 6gb drive.

The link to the workbench packs is here: http://classicwb.abime.net/index.htm

I was thinking 3.5 or 3.9, but I'm not too sure.

Sorry to jump in on your conversation here Clym5 :shock:

I'm also curious which of these would best suit my A600 also. I recall I had issues with them not working under WinUAE so I didn't bother to copy them to the CF Card - though that could just have been an emulator issue.

Can't help with the Amiga 4000 question.
The Amiga 600 I use the GAAE edition http://classicwb.abime.net/classicweb/gaae.htm

For the 4K it really depends on your intended use. If it were mine and it had 3.1 ROMs I'd be going all out and installing AmigaOS 3.9.
