Chiming in here for a desired CDTV release as well. I had some difficulty getting 3.1.4 working. I would like to hear more about what it would require. If it's a custom ROM, I'm already doing this.

Personally, I would recommend (only for these machines) to get a RAM expansion that provides at least 4 MB of RAM to be on the safe side. Also remember to have a suitable storage controller. For the CDTV you will be required to have a CDTV Extended set of ROMs v2.7 (though 2.30 will work too with some limitations). CDTV-II/CDTV-CR and A570 should NOT have their CDTV Extended ROMs changed at all. To the casual reader: this specific information is ONLY meant for the experimental CDTV/CD32 specific support that will require advanced skills. |

Current Hardware Requirements for AmigaOS 3.2:
1) An Amiga model 1000, 500, 2000, 600, 1200, 3000, 3000T, 4000D or 4000T, and minor variants of those. 2) Kickstart ROM 3.1, 3.1.4 or 3.2. 3) At least 2MB of total RAM available. Soft-loading updated OS modules combined with larger hard disk media and additional software customizations may require additional memory above the 2 MB mentioned. The physical 3.2 ROM will help reduce the memory footprint of hard disk loaded modules over an older ROM beyond other benefits. 4) A hard drive with a minimum of 10 MB of free space. 5) If you don't have AmigaOS 3.1 or better already installed, you will require a physical copy of the "Install3.2" floppy disk. If in addition to that, you are still using the old 3.1 Kickstart ROM you will also require a physical copy of the "Modules" disk that matches your hardware (All floppies should be available as ADF images in a directory of the retail CD-ROM). 6) A CD-ROM drive unit accessible to your Amiga, or the contents of the AmigaOS 3.2 CD-ROM copied on to an Amiga compatible storage media Note: AmigaOS 3.2 has been tested to work under many emulated/FPGA systems. |

AmigOS 3.2 was designed so that it can be delivered in all sorts of Amiga compatible media (floppies, cd-roms, hdds, CF cards, usb thumbdrives, digital download, etc) and can be easily converted between each other by any user. It will ultimately depend on retailers and Hyperion which options will be physically available for sale. |

CDTV in particular is of course an odd piece of equipment that only a few people have/use.. But as other mentioned.. CD32 much more widely used as a primary(?) Amiga now that there are affordable accelerators available with IDE/CF.. RGB out, Keyboard connectors etc.. So if any effort is made it should be to include the CD32. |

Version 2.7 was designed for the CDTV and works acceptably. Version 2.30 was designed for the A570 and works acceptably on the A570. The problem is that v2.30 under some circumstances reserves a memory address range for a memory expansion on the A570, so it may "steal" fast memory on a CDTV for no reason. |

Is there a return policy if the OS does not work with my setup, or is there a possibility to test it before I buy?
My setup is A3000 using 1.4 ROMs (which I like to keep and I know how to make a superkickstart image) and AS225v2 networking. I do not want a newer physical ROM and the available networking works well for my needs. |
