Listen carefully to my tale of woe, lest ye suffer as this poor soul!

The Installer, which is packaged with the upgrade kit for the purpose of
updating copy protected 400K startup disks has some problems.
For one, it will not install any of the "safe" systems (3.1, 3.1.1, etc.).
The only system file it will install is the deadly 3.0.

I decided to try a work-around by overwriting the system file later
with the latest I have, 3.1.

Do not attempt to use the installer if you only have one disk drive.
It took about 400 disk swaps to upgrade my Sargon III disk!

I'm not so sure overwriting System 3.0 with 3.1 afterwards was a good
idea..... now my Sargon III won't work at all!

Beware the deadly installer!
