The first 3000's "kickstarted" from a file on the hard disk. To set that up, you needed the "Super Kickstart" disk that came with the 3000. The install utility on the matching WB disk put the Kickstart image out onto the hard drive where the ROMS in the machine would find them. (You're right about the ROMS being an early version of 2.0… it was just enough to boot in the kickstart from the HD.) Best bet would be to go all the way to 3.1. It's a ROM swap, you can get the new ROMS from a dealer (if you can find one) or mail order. Then it's just a matter of replacing those early 2.0 ROMS with the new ones, and reloading the HD. BTW, make sure you get the 3000 version of the ROMS. -Jim MOS via Autopilot & Amiga
