Amiga OS Versions - AmigaOS 3.0, 3.1

AmigaOS 3.0, 3.1

Workbench 3.0 was released in 1992 and version 3.1 in 1994, version 3.1 is the last AmigaOS released by Commodore. However 3.x did not have major changes but many important improvements were included to support new Amiga models. Updates included:

  • A universal data system, known as datatypes, that allowed programs to load pictures, sound and text in formats they didn't understand directly, through the use of standard plugs (see object-oriented operating system)
  • Better colour remapping for high colour display modes and support for new AGA chipset
  • Improved visual appearance for Workbench
  • CD-ROM support as required for Amiga CD32 (3.1)

3.x shipped with the CD32, A1200, A4000 and A4000T.
